2019 Miami DT commit Denzel Daxon has been showing off his skills on the camp circuit this spring, most recently checking in at the Under Armour All-America Miami camp last month. How’d he feel it went?
“You know, it was pretty good,” Daxon said. “All of us come with the same mindset, to compete and get better, and that was the whole purpose of the event really.”
The 6’2” 300 pound interior defender and 3-star recruit has spent the off-season trying to take his game to the next level and Daxon detailed how his progress is coming along.
“Still pass rush skills, still got to work on that and some other minor things,” Daxon said. “But the smallest things cause the biggest problems, so I’ll have to fix that.”
Daxon most recently visited Miami last weekend for the spring game. The Canes have also changed position coaches at Daxon’s D-Line spot, replacing the departed coach Kool with Jess Simpson. Daxon’s now had a few chances to meet him and form an impression on UM’s newest hire, talking with Simpson at a UM basketball game, Junior Day, and the spring game.
“Pretty cool guy, as time goes on, I’ll get a better feel of him," Daxon said. "I think it’s a good hire.”
Daxon claims he is still solidly committed to Miami. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t listen to other schools.
“I’m solid right now, but options are still open,” said Daxon. “Further down the road, I’ll make that decision (to shut my recruitment down).”
And those other interested options that Daxon hears from a lot?
“Right now, Louisville and Tennessee. That’s basically it.”
Daxon plans no other upcoming visits for this spring, but is looking forward to his senior season at Doral Academy. He recently transferred in from Miami Norland and has noticed a difference in coaching at his new school.
“Oh, very excited. We have a good coaching staff, they really coach us and teach us,” Daxon said. “We’re looking for a really good season and let’s hope for the best.”
