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.

Brother, I’m a Mario fan but you are reaching. Staff’s whisperers went from Top 3 to Top 5 to Top 10 to Top 10 average ranking all in a couple of months. Mostly due to poor close with the DBs, but there are other major holes in the class. So now Mario has to put in extra work in the portal to make up for it. Which he is doing. But let’s not kid ourselves into thinking he didn’t have a really really bad December.

dude im blaming him for guidry. that hire set us back. he owns it.

So someone that was committed at a position of need, didn’t have a commitable offer?

He didn’t. Every site stated we stopped recruiting him.

Brother it was a movie watching them this year. Unfortunately the movie was directed by the football version of Wes Craven.

I was gonna say a Wayans brothers flick.

He had one and then he started ignoring us and visiting Tennessee. Then he no longer had one.

It's true. No elite OT, whiffed on impact DT's, only 1 elite LB when we needed at least 2, and the obvious abomination of secondary recruiting. But with all that there were still major W's in this hs class. Love Nickel, Pringle, SJ, the wr's, Schott, Wiley, and both d ends. I think all those kids will be good but no doubt way too many misses this cycle.

our offensive class was good, our defensive class was not up to par.

Can’t say Mario isn’t trying to fix it - 3 out of the top 13 portal CBs. 2 with multiple years of eligibility.

Has Washington State just become a feeder program?

They're a mid-major program now.

One of the more incompetent examples of leadership that you'll see. They hung onto the mast of the sinking ship believing it wouldn't sink while all the other programs found a lifeboat.

They might not even be that, now that they are in the West Coast Conference lol. I wonder what 2025 schedule looks like?
