The Miami Hurricanes have just locked in another commitment for their 2024 recruiting class. Defensive back Ryan Mack from St. Thomas Aquinas has decided to take his talents to Miami. The decision to commit to the Hurricanes represents a full-circle journey for the Mack family.
Listed at 5-11 and 165 pounds, Ryan Mack is set to follow in his father's footsteps, bringing a strong legacy back to the Miami Hurricanes. Rod Mack, Ryan's father, was a linebacker for Miami from 1996 to 1999, carving out a successful college career. Ryan's commitment signals a continuation of the Mack lineage at Miami, setting the stage for a new era of impact from the family.
Ryan Mack isn't just a football player; he's also a track star. With multiple sub 11-second times in the 100M, his speed is a major asset on the gridiron. This speed combined with his agility and football IQ makes him a formidable addition to the Hurricanes' defense.
Though Mack has played as a cornerback during his high school career at St. Thomas Aquinas, his potential as a safety at the collegiate level can't be ignored. His ability to read the game, his speed, and his knack for finding the ball could make him an outstanding safety for the Hurricanes. However, his versatility could allow him to excel in either position.
Despite holding offers from a number of prestigious programs such as Pitt, Penn State, and Florida State, Mack chose the Hurricanes, which speaks volumes about his commitment to the program and the allure of continuing his father's legacy.
As a three-star recruit on the 247 Sports composite ranking, Mack may not top the charts, but the ranking doesn't necessarily reflect the potential he brings to Miami. Mack’s athleticism, his football acumen, and his familial ties to the program suggest that he could outperform those initial evaluations.
