We were left out of the 2024 Playoffs due to abysmal CB recruiting in previous cycles. And even though Mario made 2025 CB recruiting personal and we have a wide open depth chart, there were some serious and painful whiffs in the 25 cycle. Will 26 be the cycle that breaks the CB recruiting curse at Miami?

6'2 180lbs (future 4-star) ATH out of Palm Bay, goes to Heritage HS.

Dual sport athlete that plays Football & Basketball.

Two-way player that plays WR, RB, CB & Safety, but projects best as a CB on the next level.

Had a good Sophomore season with 20tks & 5INT's.

Long armed rangy ATH with good speed. Ran a 10.52 in the 100m back in February.

Committed to Syracuse a few days ago, but has received recent offers from UF & FSU & Nebraska. His recruitment is picking up some steam over the Spring due to his upside.

He visited Miami last year during the Summer & is from the same area as Chase Smith, so there's connection for us.

@lindend, if you make a thread for him, you can use this if you like

@Memnon , how seriously were we recruiting Gordon? Should I add this to the Head to Head against Bama thread?
 
Was offered in late March, and appears like we made Gordon's Top 10 and were in the final 3. However, he said this was a "no brainer" so IDK how serious this recruitment was.




 
Don't see a Miami offer for Barney on 247 so I don't think were a serious option in that recruitment.
