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.

EVERYONE? Are you sure about that?

Because a certain short man with itchy Twitter fingers thought he had landed enough talent last year to ride with.

And that's not a joke, he really believed that ****.

Once we get Lucas and the secondary might just be our strength now lmao

I bet brown transfers if Lucas does end up at Miami.

Room will be too crowded for him.

Really good player. Usually plays on the left side on the field and really gets in the receivers face. He uses his speed to stop long shots from opposing teams. Secondary is really shaping out to be a strength.
