The Canes played host to over 40 of the area’s top 2019 prospects on campus last Saturday for their exclusive, invite-only Junior Day weekend. Most of the attendees hold offers from Miami, and six commits from Surge19 even made it out. The prospects were brought out to UM’s Saturday spring practice, explored campus, talked academics, and tried on team jerseys. While an entire list of the attendees can be found here, we were able to catch up with a few of the players after the fact, and they shared their thoughts on the experience from their eyes.
Daniel Carter, RB, Fort Lauderdale, FL (St. Thomas)
“It was great. It was my first time visiting any school, so it went great. I like Miami and I love the school.”
Jahmar Brown, LB, Fort Lauderdale, FL (St. Thomas)
“In one word, amazing.”
Jaden Davis, CB, Fort Lauderdale, FL (St. Thomas)
“It was another good experience and it’s always a great time when I’m down at ‘the U’.”
Rian Davis, DE/LB, Apopka, FL (Wekiva)
“It was incredible. Best part was taking pictures in the uniforms and it made me feel even better about UM.”
Brandon Hill, CB, Apopka, FL (Wekiva)
“When I got there, we went to their spring practice and it was a lot of energy from the coach and players, the atmosphere was nice. Also, when I seen the campus, my eyes lit up from the size.”
Te'Cory Couch, CB, Hollywood, FL (Chaminade-Madonna)
“The trip was good. We just walked around the school, talked about the educational part of being a student at Miami, and then we talked football. We watched the team practice that morning too. I’ve always looked at Miami as one of my top schools.”
Dontae Lucas, OL, Bradenton, FL (IMG Academy)
“It was great. I met with the coaches and we talked about where I would be at if I attended UM. That put them in a good spot.”

Dane Belton, S, Tampa, FL (Jesuit)
“It was great. Got to see their practice, and their enthusiasm and energy they had practicing is something I want to be a part of. Also, nothing can beat putting on the uniforms, so that was awesome getting to see yourself in their uniform.”
