Mikeska had an in-home visit from Stephen Field on Saturday afternoon.
From Canesport's interview with Mikeska:
“(The visit) went great. I love Miami and feel great about it,” . “His main message was to come in and be ready to play and get reps and just get better.”
Mikeska expressed his excitement to have Field as his tight ends coach at Miami next season and to play for offensive coordinator Josh Gattis.
“I think (Field) is awesome and a great coach, really looks out for his players,” Mikeska said. “Gattis runs the best offense in college football in my opinion.”
Bridgeland High School (Texas) head coach David Raffield described Mikeska as a physical blocking tight end with pass-catching ability who excelled this season despite his team’s 6-5 record. Raffield said Mikeska’s confidence grew tremendously over the past year as he was used as an H-back. He also said he thought Mikeska was best “with his hand on the ground” but was used in a variety of ways for the Bears.
