WR Malachi Toney reclassifies to 2025 Class

Sep 17, 2024 1 min read

Toney led American Heritage team in receiving in 2023, putting up 49 catches for 773 yards and 8 TD.

The 5'11, 182-pounder brings excellent hands, route quickness, RB skills after the catch, and an alpha personality to the WR room. For reference, this is the WR I was referencing on the Canes Connection zoom and later in the Bank.

- There could be some good news on the way soon for Miami at WR. If it happens, it should go public in the next few days.

Here he is a couple weeks ago against an outstanding Western defense:

Malachi Toney is the 22nd commit in the 2025 class, joining QB Luke Nickel, RB Girard Pringle, WR Daylyn Upshaw, TE Brock Schott, TE Luka Gilbert, OT Jaden Wilkerson, OT Demetrius Campbell, OG TK Muex, OG Max Buchanan, OC SJ Alofaituli, DE Herbert Scroggins, DT Donta Simpson, DT Mykah Newton, LB Gavin Nix, LB Ezekiel Marcelin, S Hylton Stubbs, S Amari Wallace, DB Bryce Fitzgerald, CB Jaboree Antoine, CB Chris Ewald and DB Tim Merritt.

I’m stopped following recruiting like a maniac the way I used to because I’m confident that when pen meets paper Mario will sign us a class that will allow us to compete at the highest levels year in year out. I can’t be bothered with a kid that would would pick a dumpster fire over a rising top 10 undefeated team.

This. We’ll get our guys. Sucks he won’t be joining the party but oh well.

His loss.

It was alluded to not long ago that both Toney and Upshaw likely wouldn't both be in this class...looks like we chose Upshaw

I couldn't give less of a **** about a south fl receiver...

Seems like the best players not named Bain and Jeremiah are from everywhere else. Not sfla

Got some good ones but national seems like it has more imo

If I were a major recruit and thought I was as good as anyone, would be hard to turn down Bama after watching that game in person. That was as big time as it gets in college football. It was what Miami/FSU used to be.

I think this info is only for Canes Connection members but check the thread below this titled “Malachi Toney”

I’ll delete if this is too much info, mods

WR recruiting is so weird with this program.

Best offense we’ve had by far in the last 20 years.. and we can’t get top notice WR’s.

Not really weird. Makes perfect sense to me. Poor initial offensive scheme, empty QB room, south Florida emphasis.

If this is the case, did we make the right choice? I haven't watched much film on either, I'm just interested in others opinions about who they think is better?

The skill position recruiting is at least A LITTLE BIT concerning. I know Trader and Ny Carr were both Top 100 guys and Jordan Lyle and Mark Fletcher are both solid. But it has mostly been meh. Relying on the portal feels risky too. Not a lot of top-end talent at that position in the portal.

That I disagree
There was elite talent available
This year in he portal we just didn’t land them
And was told how elite San brown was instead

Guess we won't know that for another 2-4 years lol.

Now let’s hope Upshaw chooses us on signing day.

Ehh it was a sloppy game in which there were turnovers galore. Neither of those 2 are winning the title. Lot of living off hype of previous years. Ending was crazy, but it wasnt as good as Miami vs. VT from a game watch standpoint.

Like if you sat 2 fans down, they didnt know anything about any 4 teams, the Miami vs. VT game was a better game with a crazier ending. The fact the other game involved Alabama and UGA it gets way more hyped.

Make no mistake previous Bama and UGA versions would smash this years teams.

WR recruiting seems to be entirely focused on flips.

Yes, and Upshaw could end up flippin too. Don't like it one iota

I think this was expected by the staff
A CIS insider hinted about this in another thread when he reclassified

Oh well… SFL divas not putting up for the home school still undefeated

I’d take him in a heartbeat but I won’t lose sleep about it. Seems like we have a plethora of 5’10 receivers

People were crapping their pants over the DT class at this point last year. Let’s just all take it easy and acknowledge Roman Reigns as our tribal chief.
