Orlando Bishop Moore 2016 offensive lineman Parker Boudreaux keeps racking up the college football scholarship offers and it was Miami jumping on board Thursday with his 17th offer.

"I'm really pumped! It was very unexpected," Boudreaux texted shortly after receiving the offer.

Boudreaux, a 6-foot-5, 270-pound tackle, has seen his recruiting blow up this spring and UM joins the list that also includes FIU, USF, FAU, Arkansas State, Charlotte, East Carolina, Georgia Southern, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, NC State, Penn State, Texas State, Toledo, UAB Middle Tennessee and Troy.

He's an extremely strong, athletic player who runs a 5.1-second 40-yard dash, has a vertical leap of 31 inches and tosses the power ball 38 feet.

Boudreaux hasn't started to weigh his offers and has no current leader. He has two full seasons left at Bishop Moore, a Class 5A school.

"All of my offers are very important to me," he said. "I'm really happy with the [UM] offer, but I haven't had a chance to take it all in yet and rank the offers."

McCloud is an athlete with good size at 6'3" 215lbs. He joins Shaq Quarterman and Michael Pinckney as LB commits in the 2016 class, and is the 8th player to commit in that class.

ZACH McCLOUD, SANTALUCES LB
What is your favorite food?
Ribs. I just like meat. I can’t make them, but I stand by and take them as they’re being cooked.

What’s playing on your iPod?
I like listening to a lot of old rappers like The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac.

Which athlete do you admire the most?
Former NFL safety Brian Dawkins because of his intensity and passion for the game.

What do you do to relax?
I just listen to music and watch football.

What is your favorite subject in school?
Psychology. The human mind has always interested me.

If you weren’t playing football, you’d be …?
I would actually like to do something either in the psychology or medical field.

If you could fly anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Brazil because I have a lot of friends from there and they talk about it all of the time.

If you could have dinner with anyone (past or present), who would it be?
Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. I’ve always wanted to talk to him about some things that could help me mature faster in this game.

Player To Watch: Zach McCloud

@RawRecruitsNet: South Carolina has just offered 2016 Stud Lb Zach McCloud 6-3 210 Santaluces HS. WOW offers rolling in UM Tenn UCF UGA. Bama will be soon!!

@realcoachk: Newest 2016 #Canes commit LB Zach McCloud (@chief__20) on why he chose Miami "It's a goal I've been working to attain since I was a kid"

- “I set my mind on this decision a long time ago ever since I was a little kid wanting to play football,” McCloud said. “I was always hoping to be at Miami as long as I can remember. Even though I doubt I’m going to change directions, it is just a verbal commitment. I could decommit if I choose to but I don’t see that happening.”

- “From a football standpoint, they’re coming up again,” McCloud said. “They’ve made progress already and I think they will make even more in the next few years. I want to be a part of that plus it’s a very good school to get a degree from. It’s great to be a Hurricane and I’m looking forward to it.”

- “It sounded like there was a party going on in the background and every coach around was invited,” McCloud said. “It was a lot of fun telling them personally that I decided to commit. They offered about a week ago so everything moved along pretty fast.”

- On Langham being at Miami; “That was a part of it, just another thing to add on the list of reasons working for Miami,” McCloud said. “He’s somebody I’m familiar with and that did influence my decision. It’s nice to know I have another person already there that I can trust.”

These 3 CBs for 2016 would be epic. This will get to play right away with Howard, Crawford and possibility Burns leaving next year and Gunter gone this year.

So far in 2016 we will only have:
Artie Burns: Sr.
Corn Elder: Sr.
Ryan Mayes: rSo.

Michael Jackson: rFr. or So.

And Chauncey Gardner. Kind of tweener not sure if corner or safety yet. Physical though and great size as a junior.


Vibe I get with Malek Young though, I don't think he ends up a Cane.

Smith and Mullen I want bad. Smith is a battle between the big 3. Mullen someone mentioned it here close to the situation, we have a legit shot pending our DC situation.

I like Carriere-Williams from Booker T but I want him to develop more.

Nothing will change with our DC situation. Our defense is finally improving and hope to continue the trend next season. We have 6 starters to replace but everyone else in the 2 deep from this year should be back. I think with the exception of LB we will be better at every other position on D.

Perryman - Hardest to replace but I think Kirby will be moved there. Grace and Owens should improve.
Chickillo - Chad Thomas.
Pierre - Kamalu, Heurtelou, Wyche, Moten, Jenkins should be better next year. We also get Moore and Hamilton after RS year.
Armbrister - McCord will replace him when AQM comes back and D Jack explodes at DE.
Fentress - R. Jenkins will be back and be an upgrade if healthy.
Gunter - We should be good with Burns, Howard, Elder, and Crawford.

The only position we will lack depth at is LB next season. Hopefully Kirby, Grace, Owens, and McCord will be a solid top 4. Young and McCray will need to ready to play next year. I know Young is ready physically, just needs to develop the mental aspect of the game. If we can stay healthy and get solid contribution from a couple of newcomers, we should be solid at the position.

If we can stay healthy and get solid contribution from a couple of newcomers, we should be solid at the position.

As of now I don't think the DC position changes unless D'Onofrio completely implodes over the next 3 games.

I think the comments on Mullen was more of how the defense comes along and if D'Onofrio ends up being legit.

I expect Kirby to take over at MLB too.

I expect Chad to become a full time starter next year with Chick graduation as well.

I see our DT's improving next year with a young Moten and Jenkins. As well as Kamalu and Heurt as seniors.. and hopefully one of Wyche, Hamilton or Moore give us something.

I do also think as others do too that McCord could be on his way to SLB with the return of AQM. Think he might be more of a LBer than DE just by body wise we'll see, it would make sense. He will compete with Owens who I think is a extremely great fit at SLB. I could also see McCord just staying at DE as a co starter with AQM. I expect Chad, Harris, Djack all to take another step in their second year at DE.

Rayshawn Jenkins it has been noted in the past. Might not even come back from injury. This is something people have forgotten. His injury was very serious.
I expect Jaquan and Irvin to come in 2015 class at safety and expect both to take a crack at early playing time. Deon is healthy and back into his form again but don't rule out an early leave by him, his athleticism alone could get him drafted early. Sadly I think Dallas might just be too slow for safety, he has the ability. I like Jamal Carter, he needs to improve his tackling which I have seen many players on D do. I expect Carter to start next year at one of the safety spots along with Bush if he returns. I expect Gayot to move to linebacker sooner or later.

I think we will be just fine at corner, but its the year after 2015 I worry about. I expect Howard to revert back to sophomore form but better, rough year on him, will work harder in the offseason. I expect Howard and Burns to start next year and Elder to spell them and play nickel. I like Antonio, I just don't see him as a full time, good nickel though. Key here is landing guys like Lewis, D. Davis, and C. Davis. They could play early.
DONT rule out Tim Irvin playing nickel, he would fit in great in a Lamarcus Joyner/Honey Badger role as a nickel/safety, could make an early splash doing that.

And agreed on LBer. I think Perry could make an early impact. I think Young will be ready next year, he's all their physically. McCray is a sleeper, he has some great pass rush ability from what I saw when he was at Ely.

Local 2016 tight end Nick Eubanks adds Canes offer

American Heritage Plantation has produced some of the best college football talents in South Florida recently. The list of multi-offer athletes grows by each passing week it seems.

Add 2016 TE Nick Eubanks to the list. With just a year of football under his belt, he’s already been offered by LSU and Miami. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound tight end talked about the Canes.

“I spoke to the coaches last week, they told me they were excited about me. The Canes have a good program.”

Eubanks explained he’s already visited Coral Gables.

“I was there for a practice. It was a really good experience, matter of fact. I enjoyed it.”

He says linebacker coach Hurlie Brown is the assistant he calls most often.

“I like Coach Brown, he’s really cool. He wants me at Miami.”

Eubanks said he’s done with unofficial visits until after American Heritage’s season is over.

“I want to take care of business with my team first, then I’ll concentrate on recruiting after.”

The talented junior said LSU has extended an offer and that West Virginia will most likely be next. He told CaneInsider he spoke to the man in charge of the SEC West powerhouse.

“I called head coach Les Miles the other day and he talked to me about his program. Coach Miles said he’d love to have me at LSU and he thinks I fit his offensive system well,” Eubanks shared. “LSU has a good program, too. I’ve seen them play on television numerous times.”

Eubanks said he has a lot of love for the hometown Hurricanes.

“Like I said before, they have a good program. And it doesn’t hurt they’re my favorite team.”

Miami Hurricanes Recruiting: Welcome To The U: Amir Rasul
by Andrew Ferrelli 6h ago

Junior Day at Miami continued to be a very successful tradition today. In addition to 4-stars Cedrick Wright and Jojo Jackson, The Miami Hurricanes received a verbal commitment from 2016 running back Amir Rasul. Rasul is regarded as one of the top backs in the state for 2016 because of his size and blazing speed. The 6’0-200 product from Coral Gables also holds offers from N.C. State, South Carolina, and USF already.

Amir Rasul has great size at 6’0-200, but is also a track star. This size, strength, and speed combo has allowed him to become an elite p_layer_. Rasul will have to continue working on his vision and patience, but he has all of the physical talent needed to be an elite back. Rasul brings the 2016 Canes’ class up to 10 commits, and all come from South Florida. Rasul is the 1st running back in the class and joins 3 4-star receivers(Sam Bruce, Dionte Mullins, and Ahmmon Richards) and arguably the best 2016 QB(Jack Allison) on the offensive side of that class. The Miami Hurricanes recruiting class for 2016 is off to a start that even Amir Rasul would struggle to keep pace with.

Canes commit marvels at Irish offer
Jan 27, 2015 | 04:13 am
Anna Hickey
Recruiting Reporter

Junior running back Amir Rasul says Irish assistant Tony Alford deems him a “homerun hitter,” and the recent Miami commitment explains why he’s so enthralled by his offer from Notre Dame.

Coral Gables (Fla.) High junior running back Amir Rasul was speechless when Notre Dame running backs Tony Alford coach delivered some news on Monday.

“I was very surprised, and I just marveled in the moment for a second,” Rasul said. “It’s just amazing they offered me. This was the one I had been waiting on.”

“(Alford) wants to get me up there for a junior day this spring and for a camp this summer, so I can see more of what they’re all about.”

Speed is the 6-foot, 202-pound running back’s specialty, having been clocked in the 40-yard dash at 4.38 seconds and the 100-meter race at 10.31 seconds.

“(Alford) called me a homerun hitter,” Rasul said. “He said I can do a little bit of everything like bursting through for big gains and catching passes as a slot wide receiver.”

Notre Dame’s religious tradition resonates strongly with Rasul, who attended Christopher Columbus, a Catholic school in Miami, as a freshman and sophomore.

“Everything,” Rasul said, when asked what he liked about Notre Dame. “Everything about it I like. You have to admit the name Notre Dame is amazing. The school of the Holy Mother offered me. I have known about the Basilica there for a long time. I want to see that as a person. It doesn’t even matter that I’m an athlete.”

Rasul said he grew up watching Notre Dame on television, and today he keeps up with the Florida prospects that end up Irish.

“I watched a lot of their games as a kid, and I watched ‘Rudy’ every day,” Rasul said. “I followed Greg Bryant and Corey Holmes, and I know Tarean Folston is up there, too.”
Rasul’s game goes beyond that of a track star on the football field, and he considers himself a well-rounded source of attack.

“I have good vision to go with my speed,” Rasul said. “I have downhill run ability, and I’m a student of the game. I can run in between in the tackles, bounce it outside and be a deep threat if I need to be.”

Rasul pledged to Miami on Sunday, but he’s still considering other programs along with Notre Dame, including the Gamecocks and Mountaineers. He plans to visit South Carolina this spring.


Recruiting: Amir Rasul decommits from Miami Hurricanes
By Matt Porter July 25,2015

After transferring high schools, Amir Rasul planned to spend his senior season in Coral Gables.

His college career is another matter.

Rasul, a rising senior running back at Coral Gables High, said Saturday he decided to back off his Miami commitment.

“After prayer and speaking with my parents and coaches, I’ve decided to de-commit from the University of Miami and open up my recruitment,” he tweeted.

Rasul, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound four-star recruit, is the No. 7 running back on 247Sports’ composite ratings. He is a track sprinter who racked up 893 yards and 13 touchdowns on 127 carries as a junior at Miami-Columbus High.

According to 247Sports, Rasul is the No. 1 back on Florida State’s recruiting board. He has long been rumored to flip to the Seminoles, but did not announce that move Saturday.

After losing him, UM’s recruiting class of 21 commits is rated No. 8 by 247Sports. Four-star prospect Travis Homer, of Oxbridge Academy, is the highest-rated commit at the position. UM is after four-star back Carlin Fils-Aime, a Naples High teammate of cornerback commit Tyler Byrd.

Junior teammates to stay in Miami

Junior teammates to stay in Miami
Opting to stay in their hometown on Sunday afternoon, Al Golden and the Miami Hurricanes picked up a pair of commitments from defensive end Joseph Jackson and defensive back Cedrick Wright, both juniors at Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Preparatory.

With dozens of student-athletes in attendance to take part in the festivities at the University of Miami's junior day, Al Golden and the Hurricanes coaching staff struck gold when a pair of local juniors opted to stay in their hometown by committing to the Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon.

Per Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Preparatory head coach Earl Sims, defensive end Joseph Jackson and defensive back Cedrick Wright made it official and joined an already stellar 2016 recruiting class at Miami.

"Joseph Jackson and Cedrick Wright committed to Miami," Sims told Scout. "Corey, I believe staying home is always in the back of every kid's mind when this decision arises, especially when the opportunity presents itself.

"Every kid's situation is different. I went away as many of my friends did. I think it's a huge opportunity for our p_layer_s and the University of Miami with these two, though."

Jackson, 6-foot-6, 245-pounds, is an intriguing pass rusher with an elite offer sheet consisting of Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Tennessee, Clemson, Notre Dame, Ohio State, South Carolina, Texas and Ole Miss.

The junior has prototypical size as just a junior and does a good job of shedding blocks and disengaging off his opponent to make tackles. Jackson also does a good job of playing under control and not over pursuing off the edge. He's explosive off the ball and shows good speed and athleticism in his pass rush. The kid is an athlete with nice upside. Keeping Jackson home is huge for Golden and company.

In regards to Wright, he reeled in a scholarship offer from the Hurricanes earlier this month and it didn't take long for well-rounded defensive back to pounce on his latest opportunity. Wright, 5-foot-11, 190-pounds, selected Miami over the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Indiana, Ohio State, Rutgers, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

Wright plays a physical brand of football in the back end of the defense, and is a smooth athlete who covers a significant amount of ground at safety. He also does a good job of playing in the box and isn't afraid to get his nose dirty in the run game.

Overall, Wright is a smart football player who plays with good anticipation and instincts in both the run and pass game. He's a well-rounded prospect who could see the field early on in his career in Coral Gables.

Camp commits to dream school
Joining a trio of additional juniors, 2016 Lakeland (Fla.) Lake Gibson defensive lineman Keyshon Camp committed to Al Golden and the Miami Hurricanes at their junior day on Sunday afternoon.

Back in November, Keyshon Camp told Scout that he was a lifelong fan of the Miami Hurricanes, and that his offer from Al Golden's program was a "dream come true".

Camp, a 6-foot-4, 265-pound junior defensive lineman out of Lakeland (Fla.) Lake Gibson, consulted with his loved ones and opted to pull the trigger and committed to the Hurricanes at their junior day on Sunday afternoon.

"When I was there, it felt like family," Camp said. "Me being at the school, I can see myself playing there and I can see them taking my game to the next level. Coach Golden was happy and told me, "Welcome to the U family" when I committed."

After missing the majority of his sop****re campaign with a knee injury, Camp rebounded nicely in 2014 and manufactured a productive season for the 9-2 Braves. The junior standout accumulated 71 tackles (38 solo), five sacks, one safety and a 23-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown for head coach Keith DeMyer.

In additional to the Hurricanes' rich tradition on the gridiron, Camp believes in the true meaning of a student-athlete and is just as excited to earn a top-notch degree in the classroom down in Coral Gables.

"The classes are a lot smaller than other colleges," Camp said. "There's not 200-300 in a class and their main priority is the academics. I like the campus and everything isn't all out there in the city like how most of the other colleges are."

On the recruiting trail, Camp possesses additional scholarship offers from Duke, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Kentucky, Marshall and Northwestern. The defensive lineman is light on his feet and strong as an ox, while possessing a variety of go-to moves in the trenches. He's an impressive athlete in space, and shows a nice motor while in pursuit of the ball carrier as well.

Exploding off the ball and playing with better pad level are areas of improvement for Camp, but he's a young football player who's going to get better and better with experience moving forward. Camp was the fourth junior to issue a commitment to the Hurricanes this afternoon.

'Canes snag pledge from 2016 Flanagan LB/S Devin Gil
(Mark Randall / Sun Sentinel)
By Ryan S. Clark

On Sunday, Devin Gil went to the University of Miami for junior day. On Monday, he decided that he'd like to potentially spend the next four years in Coral Gables.

The Flanagan 2016 linebacker/safety prospect took to Twitter and announced he had committed to Miami, adding to what is becoming a recruiting class earmarked by some of the higher-rated talent in both Broward and Palm Beach counties.

At 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds, Gil can be deployed at inside linebacker, outside linebacker, safety and even defensive end, said Flanagan coach Devin Bush.

"He's very versatile, he's scheme versatile," Bush said. "He has a high football IQ. Very intelligent. He can pick up on stuff fast. He's determined, focused and a smart football player. Great ball skills too. He's a great kid too. You're just talking about a great kid. He doesn't get into trouble. He has a 3.2 core GPA. He doesn't complain. He's a yes sir, no sir kid. He's just a good kid."

Gil along with Bush's son, Devin Jr., will be two of the 10 returning starters back from Flanagan's team that finished 13-1, reached the Class 8A state semifinals and lost 16-12 to state runner-up, Miami Columbus.

Bush said Gil will be used in the role Adrienne Talan occupied switching back and forth between linebacker and safety in the Falcons' base 3-4 defense. He continued by saying that Talan, who is mired between offers from Pittsburgh and TCU, is a little faster but Gil knows how to operate within the scheme.

He continued by saying Gil and Devin Bush Jr. know the system so well they're given the freedom to select between three calls and make the adjustments needed prior to a play. When Bush Jr., a four-star prospect, suffered an injury early in the playoffs, Gil was placed into this role as Flanagan continued to win en route to the best season in school history.

"Let me tell you about these two kids," Bush said. "They make a lot of the calls. They get everyone lined up. Between those two, I ask them, 'Do you like this? Can we do this? How do you feel about this?' They go and they can call different checks, recognize different formations and if I signal something, and they don't like it, I trust them so much they almost call the calls themselves."

Bush, a former Florida State star, said Gil's commitment was sudden but not too surprising given that Miami has been paying attention to Flanagan over the last few seasons.

"We know with the reputation we're going to create for ourselves and the talent we have, [colleges] are going to come," Bush said. "Miami does have the inside track. They've been watching us and him progress."

Gil is the 12th commitment the Hurricanes have received for their 2016 class, according to 247 Sports.

The group includes St. Thomas Aquinas receiver Sam Bruce, Santaluces linebacker Zach McCloud and Wellington receiver Ahmmon Richards, the Sun Sentinel's Offensive Player of the Year for Class 8A-7A-6A in Palm Beach County.

All three are rated as four-star prospects while Gil has not yet been rated by 247.

"I was watching some of his tape the other day and was like "OK"," Bush said. "When I know he's at safety, throw the ball if you want to. It may get picked off. Try it."

GIL TO STAY IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Florida Recruiting Analyst

Pembroke Pines (Fla.) Flanagan linebacker/defensive back Devin Gil becomes the fifth junior to commit to Al Golden and the Miami Hurricanes since yesterday.

Just days after reeling in his second scholarship offer of the recruiting process from Al Golden and the Miami Hurricanes, Devin Gil consulted with the ones closest to him and wasted no time committing to the local institution on Monday evening. Gil, 6-foot-1.5, 205-pounds, is a versatile defender who possesses the traits to play either safety or linebacker at the collegiate level.

"I loved the facilities, I like how coach Al Golden takes cares of his p_layer_s, and that just makes me feel a part of their team," Gil said. "When I went to their junior day, I loved how they described their defense and how their safeties are free.

"I like how they've created some of their linebackers, like (Denzel) Perryman. I also look up to some of their players."

Gil, who's in possession of an additional scholarship offer from Temple, says Golden's staff was filled with joy when he informed them of his decision to stay home. Gil becomes the fifth junior to commit to the Hurricanes since yesterday.

"They were very excited," Gil said. "They welcomed me like I was a part of their family. (Defensive backs) coach (Paul) Williams is the one I talk to the most. He's a cool and funny guy. He talks to me like I"m his own already and I like that."


Make it five 2016 commitments for Canes in 48 hours with addition of Flanagan LB Devin Gil

The Miami Hurricanes keep picking up commitments for their top-ranked 2016 signing class. If only that Signing Day wasn't 53 weeks away.

Monday, less than 48 hours after picking up four commits on Junior Day, UM added another in Pembroke Pines Flanagan's Devin Gil (6-1, 200).

Unranked among recruits by 247Sports, Gil was the Falcons' third-leading tackler last season (64, six for loss) and had three interceptions and 1 1/2 sacks while playing both outside linebacker and safety.

"[UM] saw the way he played on the ball at safety, saw him down in the box when my son Devin [Bush] got hurt," Flanagan coach Devin Bush Sr. said. "It shows you the type of versatility you're going to get. They offered Gil last week. Temple and Miami are his only offers. The kid grew up liking Miami. I guess he got real excited about it after he was there Sunday. Right now, they got him listed as an athlete. The kid is so versatile he can play anywhere for them."

Bush Jr. and Stanford Samuels, a 2017 recruit and cornerback, also have Hurricane offers according to their coach. Flanagan reached the Class 8A state semifinals last season before losing to Columbus.

"I give everybody a shot with my son," Bush Sr. said. "My son is completely wide open. Because of where I went [Florida State] that's not a deterrent. The idea is to pick the best place for him. Devin has about 30 offers. Stanford has a lot of big SEC offers."

Bush Sr. said he's not sure why Gil isn't more highly regarded. But he expects everyone to start jumping on him as he nears his senior year.

"Just versatile," Bush Sr. said of Gil. "Talented, talented kid."

Flanagan's Devin Gil decommits from Miami

Flanagan's Devin Gil decommits from Miami
Flanagan 2016 safety Devin Gil has decommitted from Miami, according to a text from Falcons coach Devin Bush on Monday.

Gil committed to Miami in January and becomes the second player in the 2016 class to decommit within the last week. Pahokee running back McArthur Burnett re-opened his recruiting in the wake of Oxbridge Academy running back Travis Homer commitment, giving the Hurricanes four running backs.

The three-star prospect, who has around 15 offers, recently took an unofficial visit to Michigan.

Michigan has been an active player in South Florida since Jim Harbaugh took over. Harbaugh was an instructor at a camp held by Bush earlier in June. After the camp, a number of area players were offered by Michigan including Gil and four-star linebacker Devin Bush Jr.

Both Bush and his son were at Michigan on Monday. Bush spoke at a camp while his son took an unofficial visit.

2016 S Devin Gil decommits from Miami Hurricanes
June 15, 2015
Matt Porter

Miami’s 2016 recruiting class, while still the largest group of commits in the country, dropped by one over the weekend.

Safety Devin Gil, from Pembroke Pines-Flanagan, told UM coaches he wanted to explore his options, according to Canesport. Gil was visiting Michigan at the time.

Gil, a three-star recruit per Rivals and 247Sports, was the lowest-rated of three safeties committed to UM. The others are three-stars Cedrick Wright (36th among 2016 safeties, according to 247Sports’ composite ratings) and James Pierre (49th). Gil, listed at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds, is ranked 63rd.

In recent weeks, 247Sports reported, Gil picked up offers from Michigan, as well as FAU, Massachusetts, USF, UCF, Ohio and Colorado.

He is the teammate of top linebacker prospect Devin Bush Jr., a target of Michigan and Florida State (as well as Miami). Bush visited Ann Arbor along with Gil and another teammate.

The Hurricanes’ group of 22 commits, which is ranked No. 2 nationally by Rivals and No. 4 by 247Sports, is the largest class in the country. Florida State and Michigan State have 18 commits each.
