With prior offers from only Oregon State and San Jose State, 2020 Corona Del Mar (CA) 3-star QB Ethan Garbers has flown a bit under the radar when compared to other highly-rated QB prospects in his class. However, his recruitment just got a little more interesting today, as Garbers received a Miami offer from Jon Richt this morning after the QB coach visited his high school.
“Coach Jon Richt came to my school this morning and extended the offer after we talked,” Garbers said. “I felt great and I’m just thankful that the University of Miami believes in my abilities.”
In preparation for missing on a QB in 2019, Miami has been evaluating a host of 2020 QB’s in recent weeks, and it was Garbers that was first up to land an offer. The relationship with Garbers is also brand-new, as the Canes just began contact only 2 days ago.
“I started talking to [Jon Richt] on Sunday, then he let me know he was coming out to see me,” Garbers said. “He said with them having to virtually no 2019 guy, it would be a great opportunity for me to play as a freshman.”
Now with the offer in hand, Garbers says he will attempt to plan a UM visit.
“I have a decent amount of interest in Miami and I want to try and get out there, but I don’t know when,” Garbers said.
Something that draws Garbers to the Canes is how Mark Richt uses his QB’s. Garbers has actually been following Richt’s career for a while now, even back when the head coach was at Georgia.
“The opportunity to play as a freshman is intriguing and also being a Georgia fan growing up, I always liked coach Richt and his style,” Garbers said.
At 6-3, 190 pounds, Garbers is coming off a monster junior season for Corona Del Mar in California, throwing for 4,137 yards on a 67% completion percentage and tossing 55 TD's to only 8 INT's. West Coast Power 5 schools such as Washington, Washington State, Utah, Oklahoma State, Cal, and UCLA have also begun to take interest with the circulation of his junior film, but have not yet offered.
“I felt great about my junior year and I’m ready to get back to work and get better for next year,” Garbers said.
As his recruitment is still in the early stages, Garbers is in no rush to make a decision, and is in the process of determining the criteria for which he will evaluate potential suitors.
“I have no idea of a decision or what I’m looking for in a school yet, just going to play everything out,” Garbers said.
