Short one today but a couple key updates:
- Miami is continuing to trend very positively for WR
Jaime Ffrench (Jacksonville). The visit the past weekend went extremely well and Miami is being aggressive. Ffrench is a priority target.
- Things are heating up with DB
Bryce Fitzgerald (Columbus). He worked out as a corner at Miami's camp and impressed everyone. While some on the forums are understandably concerned about his 100M time (11.5), he posted one of the fastest forty times in the Southeast on the lasers (4.48) and is considered one of the most athletic players in the state by local coaches.
- Miami recently landed a commitment from Chaminade DT
Donta Simpson. His age (16), size (6'4, 295 and growing) and dominant performance at camp rocketed his name up the priority list. But I'm told Miami is still hunting at defensive tackle. As first reported on the Bank, NC State commit DT
Mykah Newton (Newberry, FL) has jumped up the board. He visited last weekend and remains a target. Miami will continue working to land prospects like Newton,
Elijah Griffin (Savannah, GA) and
Derry Norris (Georgia Tech commit).
- DE
Iose Epenesa (Edwardsville, IL) is a tough one to read. That's not unusual-
SJ Alofaituli was the same way before committing to Miami- but I don't think anyone knows what he's going to do. Miami remains in strong contention.
- I am told the most impressive position the first few days has been defensive line. The veterans, the new additions and the freshmen all look the part.
