CB Tim Merritt commits to Miami

Miami landed one of the fastest risers in the South with the commitment of DB Tim Merritt (Birmingham, AL). The 6’1, 185 pounder, who also has a basketball background, chose Miami over Auburn, Arkansas and Tennessee.

As first reported a month ago in The Bank, Merritt was identified as a major priority for the Canes. The staff values his IQ, length and twitchiness, which gives allows him to be a versatile piece in the backend. Merritt played safety as a junior and will play CB as a senior. Miami likes him at both but he will start as a CB.

Merritt is the 7th commitment in Miami’s class, joining QB Luke Nickel, RB Girard Pringle, TEs Brock Schott and Luka Gilbert, OG TK Muex and LB Elijah Melendez.

Toney also lives a frog hair away from campus. Doubt Merritt is making a trip from Alabama to decommit.

Wonder if this means they feel less optimism about flipping Hanks or Pickett

Not sure why. We need all three plus Slimeto and Ewald, and always have needed all of them. Just look at our CB room.

When you have a historically good DB class like 2025 is, you take whatever you can get. We play 3 CBs in our base 4-2-5 anyway, so having 5 guys come in finally gives you a playoff level 2 deep where we don’t even have a mid-ACC first team right now.

I'm not sure that's possible.
