2014 Miami Central RB Joseph Yearby has been a firm ‘Canes commit for a few months. His flip to Miami from Florida State was primarily because of his relationship with James Coley.
“Me and Coach Coley have a great relationship and he is a very nice guy on and off the field. We can talk about anything and it’s an amazing feeling to have a coach like that,” said Yearby.
Playing in his hometown was also something attractive to Yearby.
“What made me want to switch is that this is my hometown and Coach Coley just sealed the deal.”
Yearby has been one of the top players in South Florida since his sophomore year in high school and will go down as one of the all-time greats in the area with another productive season. What does Yearby himself think about possibly being mentioned with the Duke Johnsons and Frank Gores?
“It probably won’t sink in ‘til my 12th grade year starts, but it’s starting to get in my head a little bit.”
The ‘Canes commit has high expectations for the team this upcoming season.
“Miami is going to have a very good season with Duke, Stephen, Eduardo (Clements), Allen Hurns and a few more guys coming off injury so they should have a very good season.”
Another reason Yearby is confident in Miami is because of Head Coach Al Golden.
“I believe in his vision because he’s trying to get the program back where it needs to be winning championships.”
Yearby’s 5-star teammate Dalvin Cook is currently committed to UF, but that isn’t stopping him from trying to get Cook to Miami.
“I’m trying to recruit him a lot because that’s my partner in crime right there, I do something then he does something. It should be an 80% chance with him.”
After Cook committed to Florida and Sony Michel picked UGA, some Canes fans have been worried about the situation at running back. Yearby has a message for those fans who are concerned.
“Canes fans, ya’ll don't gotta worry about anything. I’m a Cane all day everyday.”
