Spring break is over and it's back to full speed ahead in recruiting. This may be the Bank, but we've been working past banker's hours. Below is the latest on what could be a spectacular class in high school and the Portal.
- Miami is building momentum toward what might be a big few weeks here in late March/early April. Stay locked in on CanesInSight.com and the daily Podcast. Should be worth your while.
- The following are a few players to keep an eye on in the next few weeks: CB
Chris Ewald (Chaminade), RB
Girard Pringle (Armwood), DT
Floyd Boucard (Central), WR
Tyler Williams (Sumner), OL
Taren Hedrick (Community School of Naples) and
Tylon Lee (Pace, FL).
- I'll put this close to the top since it's a such a hot topic- I don't expect Miami to have interest in CB
Cormani McClain if he hits the Portal. They felt there were red flags during the recruitment, and his time at Colorado has only confirmed their suspicions.
- Expect the Canes to take two RBs. As I mentioned, there is momentum with Pringle and he's visiting this weekend. Miami is also in a strong position with RB
Alvin Henderson (Alba, AL). One name who is visiting this weekend and was first disclosed a month ago in the Bank- RB
Jasper Parker (Marrero, LA). He just got an Alabama offer and is blowing up. He has been compared to Matt Forte by Louisiana coaches and a source who has been around both says he is better than Tyjae Spears of the Tennessee Titans. When everyone gets eyes on him, he may shoot up the board for one of the two spots.
- I expect Miami to be extremely aggressive at RB in the Portal after spring.
- One name that is picking up steam for the Canes-
TJ Alford (Vero Beach). The other names in the LB mix (along with commit
Elijah Melendez)-
Zayden Walker (Ellaville, GA),
Gavin Nix (IMG),
Ty Jackson (Loxahatchee) and
Ezekiel Marcelin (Central).
Ty Jackson will be visiting soon and has some huge fans in the building.
- There are a lot of TEs on the board and Miami wants two. Ideally, they would pair a more dynamic smaller TE with a bigger, longer guy. One smaller guy who is sky-high on the board and visiting soon- TE
Brock Schott (Leo, IN). Just to get an idea of how tough he is, Notre Dame has offered him as a LB.
- The name at or close to the top of the OL board for the Canes is OT
Jaelyne Matthews (Toms River, NJ). He is visiting next week.
- At EDGE, the aforementioned
Tylon Lee is a major target due to his size and upside. He has a relationship with former Cane Ty Wise, and his teammate is Ty's son
Grant Wise (an elite 2026 OL recruit). A sleeper name to keep an eye on at EDGE is
Herbert Scroggins (Savannah, GA). He is visiting June 22nd.
- Miami has a huge grade on CB
Ben Hanks (Booker T). He is up there with
DJ Pickett (Zephyrhills, FL) as a must-get. Miami also absolutely loves S
Drake Stubbs (Jacksonville). We recently sat down with the head of Hanks' and Stubbs's 7on7 team, Jose Duasso, on the CanesInSight Podcast (video above).
- A couple out of state names Miami likes at DB-
Shamari Earls (Chester, VA) and
Aidan Anding (Ruston, LA)
- I expect a big DT in the Portal. I also expect help at WR and DB. The key for both positions- they want guys who can beat man coverage and who can play man coverage.
