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.

@DMoney are these portal guys names being leaked at all or is it Ft Knox & you guys find out when we do?

For the record, I’m hoping for the latter.

10? Who the **** did I miss?

Poyser, Daniels, Blay, Karnley, Brantley, Brockermeyer, Bauman, O’Connor…

I guess they’re counting the long snapper and kick off guy? I didn’t even know they rated those guys.

They really shouldn't be rated. Same as out of HS. Makes no sense having K/P/LS counting towards ratings.

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.

At this point we are actually a competent QB away from a potentially special season next year. Talent all over the field and sounds like Mario is finally trying to go big time with his DC.
