Top Performers:
2020 OT Marcus Dumervil
2021 DE Donnell Harris
2020 WR Xzavier Henderson
2020 WR Marcus Rosemy

Guys Miami Needs To Look At:
2020 Athlete Jahvante Royal from Aquinas- Royal is listed at 6'3'' 185 pounds. He played receiver at STA last year but has made the switch to safety this offseason. He looked raw in coverage at times but looks very impressive physically.
2020 CB Colby Dempsey from Aquinas- Dempsey performed well again on Sunday. Dempsey is 5'10'' in cleats but he plays bigger than he is and showed off good ball skills by snagging a few interceptions.
2021 DB Omar Burroughs from IMG- The Savannah native and IMG transfer showed out on Sunday and will be one of the top defensive backs in the country for 2021.
2021 DB Ja'Den McBurrows from Aquinas- Yet another STA defender had a good day on Sunday. The American Heritage transfer already has an offer from Tennessee.
2021 DB Markevious Brown from IMG- The recent Pahokee transfer jumped onto many people's radar when he transferred to IMG and continued to turn heads on Sunday. He has some mid power 5 offers.

2020 Under Armour All-America Game Invitees

Marcus Dumervil – OT (St. Thomas Aquinas – Pompano Beach, FL)
Samuel Anaele – DE (McDougal Technical Institute – Miami Gardens, FL)
Jaylan Knighton – RB (Deerfield Beach – Lauderhill, FL)
Marcus Rosemy – WR (St. Thomas Aquinas – Margate, FL)

2020 Future 50 Invitees

Donell Harris – DE (Booker T. Washington – Miami, FL)
Markevious Brown – CB (IMG Academy – Pahokee, FL)

Big Man Challenge Winners

Issiah Walker – OL (Miami Norland – Opa Locka)
Marlon Martinez – OL (St. Thomas Aquinas – Hollywood, FL)

Recruiting Notes:
Penn State commit Derek Wingo has expressed in recent weeks how excited he is that Manny Diaz is not the head guy at Miami. However, I would be shocked if Wingo did not end up out of state for college.
Continuing with the linebackers, Devon Betty has been in contact with Manny Diaz in recent weeks but he has yet to plan a visit down to Coral Gables. He has, however, set a spring visit to go back up to Kentucky.
Marcus Dumervil was at Miami last weekend and has no visits planned for any school in the near future. This means Miami is going to be the last school to get him on campus for a while. Alabama will still be tough to beat down the stretch.
South Carolina commit Issiah Walker did not make it down to Miami on Sunday. Right now it does not seem likely that he will stick with South Carolina, but Miami is not in a great position either. It will be difficult to pull Walker away from the SEC and Florida should be considered the favorite right now.

So we struck out at OT in the 2019 class, and the best SoFla Tackle prospects in 2020 (Dumervil & Walker) are high on SEC schools

**** man, wtf

Impressive. Obviously has a great frame, Extremely athletic, great get off, appeared to use his hands well in 1 on 1s. Big time pass rush potential in my opinion

What’s his weight? He was already 245. Probably should get a look inside if he keeps growing.

Btw not a lot of people know about Marlon Martinez

6’5 305

Big, interior mauler and already has 20 offers. Don’t really know what Searals was doing for 3 years but he watched this kid numerous times.

Marlon Martinez, LSU Tigers, Offensive Line

Marlon Martinez is a 6-5, 285-pound Athlete from Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Another thing is Jahvontae Royal needs an offer at CB yesterday as well. Receiver ball skills at 6’3 and will probably run mid 4.5 if he’s runs a 40.

Royal is a four-star CB from STA who already has offers from the likes of UGA, Ohio State, FSU, and UF. No Miami offer yet, though.

Some think the relentless criticism of CB recruiting is only limited to losing countless contested battles, but it's also the process that just doesn't seem to make any sense far too often. Add this to the list.

Couple quick takeaways:

- St. Thomas had an impressive looking OL group. Everybody was big and lean, including the underclassmen. Dumervil will probably be the highest-recruited local guy in this cycle.

- The sophomore DTs from Southwest and Southridge look like future monsters. Huge frames, athletic and very little fat.

- Samuel Anaele has gotten better since last year. He works hard.

- Xzavier Henderson is going to be one of the most interesting players to watch this season. He towered over the other receivers and is as fast as anyone. Don't know if he has the quickness for WR/CB or the physicality for RB/LB. Safety may be his spot. Wherever he lands, he is an easy 4* athlete that will blow up the testing.

Hes a receiver who is just now switching to corner and is showing raw coverage skills. Im not surprised he hasnt been offered.

Where the **** is McDougal tech? That's where Anaele is now DMoney? He sat this season out right?

Alot of those offers aren't commitable, it's really that simple. It's real easy to offer someone when they can't drive up the street to you, walk into your office and say "hey" I want to commit. Not to mention the kid may be a better safety, he's a big kid.

Royal is being recruited. We have CB offers out to Pough, Francois (CB/S), the GA kid Lee, Caz Holmes CB/ATH, J. Harrell, A. Gray, and Stanley (nickel cb), an out of state kid or 2, and 2-3 Jax kids...And oh ya there was just a staff change.

Lighten up people...We will see plenty of offers go out the next 1-3 months.

Find LCE local DB post a few pages back, Royal isn't the only one...Plenty of local kids that will be evaluated (Delancey, Thornton, E. Williams, Hodges, Ingraham, J.Joseph, J. Lewis(ATH), etc, etc)

He’s not just switching. He has tape of him playing CB at STA last. All of his recent offers are to play CB and he’s already a 4*. We’re going to be late to the party if we don’t offer soon.
