Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage Top247 cornerback
Jacolby Spells is planning to announce a commitment in less than a month. Spells told 247Sports on Monday that he intends to go public with a decision on July 4.
"That's locked in now," Spells said when reached by phone. "I changed it from August 1 because I felt like that was too far."
Spells, who 247Sports pegs as the nation's No. 27 cornerback prospect in the class of 2022, took an official to Miami over the weekend. That's after taking an official visit to West Virginia the weekend prior.
"They are both good teams," Spells said when asked to compare the two. "They both have a family atmosphere. They are really big on building a bond between the players and coaches."
Spells will take an unofficial visit to Georgia on Tuesday. He will then make his way up to Indiana on Friday for another official visit.
“I really just want to see why the coaches want me at their schools and if I’m going to be a fit on their teams,” Spells said.
Spells is also tentatively scheduled to take an official visit to Syracuse the weekend of June 25, although it sounds like that trip will likely be called off.
As a junior, Spells totaled 32 tackles and an interception for a Patriots team that captured a state title playing in the Sunshine State's 5A classification.
The wide receiver-turned-cornerback is considered one of the fastest prospects in the Sunshine State having gone 10.8 in the 100-meter dash. The 247Sports' Crystal Ball currently holds forecasts in favor of both the Mountaineers and Hurricanes.
