With the team off for spring break, the staff is even more locked in on recruiting. Here are some names to monitor as business begins to pick up:
- Miami is aggressively pursuing offensive linemen in this class, which they believe is the best in years. This includes high-profile uncommitted targets (Jackson Cantwell, Keenyi Pepe) and flips. Two potential targets for a flip: four-star Mississippi State commit Emanuel Tucker (New Albany, MS) and Louisville commit Joel Ervin (Fort Myers). Miami is very high on the upside of both.
Miami also feels it is right in the game for Canon Pickett (Tampa) despite a strong push from Clemson. Some other names worth monitoring at OL include Breck Kolojay (IMG), Chancellor Campbell (St. Petersburg, FL), Da'Ron Parks (Sarasota, FL) and Micah Smith (Vero Beach, FL). These are all takes in a historic year for Florida OL. Sam Greer (Akron, OH) is another name to monitor.
- Miami has a legitimate shot at TE Ian Premer (Great Bend, KS), who visits this month. It will not be easy to pull him from the Midwest, but he has family in Naples.
- Names to monitor at DE include blue-chippers Asharri Charles (Venice, FL), Jaquez Wilkes (Wadley, AL) and Anthony "Tank" Jones (Mobile, AL).
- At defensive tackle, some of the top targets include James Johnson (Northwestern via Fort Myers), Vodney Cleveland (Birmingham, AL), Jaimeon Winfield (Dallas, TX), Keshawn Stancil (Raleigh, NC), Corey Wells (Petal, MS), and Oregon commit Tomuhini Topui (Orange County, CA).
- Wide receivers to track include Calvin Russell (Northwestern), Jasen Lopez (Chaminade), Jase Matthews (Leaseville, MS), Tristan Keys (Hattiesburg, MS) and Somourian Wingo (St. Augustine, FL).
- At linebacker, in addition to the
