Just eight days after signing day for the 2017 class, Miami nabbed one of their top targets for the 2018 cycle on Thursday afternoon. 247sports composite five-star running back Lorenzo Lingard announced his commitment to Miami on Twitter a day after visiting Coral Gables.

Lingard hails from Orange City, Florida and attends University High School. He is ranked as the #2 running back in the country and #15 player overall. The 6-1, 190-pound back also has aspirations of competing in the 2020 Olympics. He is the defending state 4A champion in 110M hurdles and looks to take the 300M hurdles crown this year too.

Miami coaches Mark Richt and Thomas Brown have prioritized Lingard from the start – the two visited his school back in mid-January. That same week, coaches from Alabama, Ohio State, UGA and FSU also stopped by for Lingard.

CanesInSight’s Erick Marrero reported yesterday that Lingard seemed to be favoring Miami and Clemson heading into his unofficial visit to UM on Wednesday.

Lingard gives the Hurricanes their 8th commitment of the 2018 class as Richt looks to rack up his finest class at the helm.

Camron Davis is the perfect complement to someone like Lingard.

A similar situation to Felix Jones/Darren Mcfadden.

Amen! Welcome to The U young man. Your next mission is to please be an ambassador for this class and help recruit other superstars like you.

Exactly. When it's bad news they're all over it, can't stop posting and spreading doom.

When it's a class changing event like this, they scurry off like ****roaches in the light.

You called it.

What I like about this commitment the most, is that he commited like a savage.. No ghey periscope, no ghey video a week before signing day. No doubt in his mind whatsoever.

jit said I'm commited and shutting this biish down. Anyone want to talk to me talk to my coach or uncle. No drama like other bish *** niqqas not worth mentioning.

My crank is raging.

Lingard will be the true test of my theory that kids from Central and North Florida are a lot less likely to turn into *****ing Trolls or Drama Queens. The only kid to ***** us from these areas in recent memory is Reggie Northrup.

As opposed to kids like Quarterman, Pinckney, McCloud, Norton, Derrick Smith, and Darrion Owens who handled their recruitment with minimal drama.

Northrup bolted as soon as he got his offer from FSU.

Kid is a great get. Has some ways to go before he is considered an elite track guy (his times are good but not in the burns category) but the fact he ran a 10.8 100m as a 10th grader is tremendous.

The truth is in the level of recruiting this kid does for us while committed. If he reaches the level of deejay D. I'll be convinced he coming and proudly sport my "crank" . Lingard has the potential to help us land some great stud targets to compliment him. We shall see
