He’s scheduled a Miami visit for this coming weekend (he flies down late Thursday and heads home on Sunday) and says if it goes well he could commit soon after. UM is the only visit he has set up, although in an interesting twist Miami’s game 1 opponent Florida is also pushing for the 6-foot-2, 287-pound tackle and could be the No 2 option.
“Miami is my favorite so far,” Nnoruka said. “Their coaches have been telling me they’re recruiting me to play 3-technique in their defense. If the visit goes well enough for me to feel like it’s the place for me I will commit after that.”
So far UM has made a strong impression.
Head coach Manny Diaz, new coordinator Blake Baker and Ephraim Banda took an in-home visit with Nnoruka at the end of last week.
“Coach Diaz said how much of a fit I would be in that defense, how much they need me, that they’d love to have me in their defense, how my playing style fits them,” Nnoruka said. “And coach Baker, he’s great. He’s a cool dude, they were all cool. I was really feeling the vibe with them, chopping it up with all of them.”
