CB Ethan O’Connor commits to Miami

Miami added one of the best young ballhawks in America with the commitment of Washington State transfer CB Ethan O’Connor.

The 6’2, 175-pound redshirt freshman totaled 32 tackles, 8 passes deflected and 4 INTs. O’Connor is rated the #2 corner in the Portal by On3.

The Irvine, CA native played 755 snaps and appeared in all 12 games for the Cougars. He has been timed at up to 22 MPH and also brings special teams value (72 snaps). A source said O’Connor’s loose hips will allow him to cover all over the field, and his ability to create turnovers is sorely needed on a defense that ranked 80th in takeaways per game.

O’Connor has three years of eligibility. He joins Charles Brantley and Emmanuel Karnley in Miami’s remade CB room. Miami would also pursue a talent like Xavier Lucas if he were able to enter the Portal.

Send me a DM, I think you set your profile up where I can't just DM you from scratch. I tried to find an old DM, but I have so many in my inbox I was having trouble.

Gotcha. Sent it

Welcome to the U!!! Holy crAp big get. Only if we landed these guys a year ago. I didn't think we would land O'Conner. I was thinking we were all in for Xavier Lucas, land a safety and probably another DB for depth. Wow so does this mean were out for Xavier Lucas or we can still land him? Can you imagine we bring in Lucas and O'Conner into that room?

At some point WSU’s coach is coming for Mario with a hatchet. But hey, it could have been worse if Mateer had also transferred to UM.

Nah he hit the portal too

Yep
A lot payroll came of the books plus we didn't overspend on recruiting this year

Lets be honest, we have a horrendous bust rate with 4 star kids over the last 20 years. So not over-paying for HS kids (stubbs, pickett) unless they are sure-fire day 1 starter studs and going the portal route for more proven day 1 ready kids seems to be solid strategy.

I'd like another lb

this this this please please please. Amazing job completely overturning the DB room but rolling with what we have at LB is a head-scratcher, need 1 impact LB desperately.
