Cameron Pruitt commits to Miami

The Miami Hurricanes coaching staff continues to make waves on the recruiting trail, as Cameron Pruitt, a versatile linebacker from Theodore, Alabama, committed to the program on Saturday night.



Pruitt, a four-star recruit, has been a priority for the Hurricanes for quite some time, with his commitment marking a victory over the likes of Mississippi State and Ole Miss, who also courted the talented player. Pruitt, who stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs in at 187 pounds, has also been categorized as a safety prospect – although the Miami staff envisions him filling out into a linebacker. He brings with him a wealth of offers that includes Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Michigan State.

The Alabama-born player demonstrated his immense potential throughout his junior year, showcasing his versatile defensive skills. He racked up a 99 tackles, 15 TFL, two sacks, three forced fumbles, and an interception. Pruitt's commitment marks the 10th commitment for Hurricanes' 2024 recruiting class. He also becomes the program's second-highest rated commitment, trailing only behind the prolific Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas wide receiver Chance Robinson. With Pruitt joining Miami Central's three-star recruit Vincent Shavers, Coach Nicholson has begun to build an impressive linebacker corps. The Hurricanes are also reportedly still in pursuit of several top-tier linebacker prospects, including Chris Cole, Adarius Hayes, James Nesta, and Keyshawn Flowers.

Pruitt is the first official visitor to commit to the Canes during their massive recruitment drive in June, which will see 14 blue-chip recruits visiting the campus, including six of the top 35 players this cycle.
