The Canes completed their starting OL with the commitment of TCU C James Brockermeyer. The high-IQ, 6’3.5, 300-pounder has played 931 collegiate snaps on both offense and special teams.
Coach Mirabal hopes to hit on his third center transfer in a row after the successful tenures of Matt Lee and Zach Carpenter.
Brockermeyer initially signed with Alabama as ESPN’s #1-rated center in America. After receiving limited playing time, he transferred to TCU where he became the full-time starter and earned Honorable Mention All Big-12 honors.
Brockermeyer comes from a family of OL, as his brother played for Alabama and his father played 9 years in the NFL after starring for the Texas Longhorns.
The Canes beat out USC and Florida State for Brockermeyer’s commitment. CanesInSight was first to report Miami’s interest in Brockermeyer.
