Texas commit and New Iberia (La.) Westgate Top247 safety Derek Williams was a defensive back prospect Miami was really high on early in the process.
The Hurricanes got the nation’s No. 4 safety on campus for an unofficial visit back in April and took just one summer official visit to Austin before giving Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns his pledge.
“I loved it. It was a new experience. It was my first time in Miami. I loved it,” Williams told InsideTheU following the visit.”
It sounds like the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder is going to give some others a look before signing on the dotted line and Miami is well positioned to get the second-highest rated player in The Boot back down to Coral Gables at some point next month if he were to follow through with those.
One source told InsideTheU this week that Miami was “heating him up” which essentially means making a push here in the race towards the Early Signing Period next month.
