The Canes landed perhaps the top safety in the Portal with the commitment of Jacksonville State’s Zechariah Poyser. The 6’2, 195-pounder native of Wildwood, FL (near the Villages) gives Miami an instant impact player with three years of eligibility at a position of need.

As a redshirt freshman, he compiled 75 tackles, three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries and earned an 80.1 defensive grade from Pro Football Focus (76.1 run defense and 80.1 coverage). According to Matt Zenitz at 247Sports, an SEC personnel staffer told him this week that Poyser is “one of the top young safeties in the nation and that he has All-American type potential.”

He was unrated out of high school as a wide receiver, catching 17 passes for 276 yards and 4 TDs as a senior. He also averaged 12.4 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 4.2 APG and 1.6 SPG on the hardwood.

Poyser has recorded a 41-inch vertical jump and Miami believes he is a high-level athlete. He was coached at Jacksonville State by former Miami staffer and Booker T. graduate Terry Jefferson.

Poyser chose Miami over Florida, Auburn, LSU and Georgia. He is a lifelong Hurricanes fan.

People say Mario just got lucky because Cam changed his mind about the NFL with no regard to the choice he was weighing it against, which is basically Mario’s recruiting pitch.

As if Cam just decided against the NFL on a coin flip then pulled Miami out of a hat.
