Offensive Line is one of Miami’s needs in this year’s class and Booker T. Washington’s Denver Kirkland is the top target remaining at that position. He helped his team defeat Northwestern 32-6 last night at Traz Powell Stadium.
“Both teams came out and played good, played a great game. Miami Northwestern is a great team and the team that wanted it the most came out on top.”
Even though the season just began, Kirkland still has not made a decision of where he will be playing next season.
“The recruiting process is going good. I’m just sticking my head everywhere to see what I like.”
He was down in Coral Gables for Rising Senior Day a few weeks ago.
“It was a good experience. I had been to Miami before for one of their scrimmages, but it seemed more intense this year. They were just getting after it.”
Miami Offensive Line coach Art Kehoe is somebody that Kirkland is familiar with.
“Coach Kehoe, we got a good relationship. We’ll be on the phone and stuff like that. The main thing he tells me is just to get me down there and spend more time with the coaches."
Him and highly touted teammate Matthew Thomas have talked about paying together at the same school.
“Oh yeah, it is what it is. Whatever decision me and Matthew make, we wanna go to the same school and dominate.”
While Miami is the hometown school, Kirkland won’t be basing his decision off of that.
“I don’t wanna have to stay home in Miami for school, but if I have to then it is what it is.”
Kirkland says that the other schools he is considering include USC, Florida State, Florida, and South Florida.
