Both are talented players, and knowing what the Hurricanes are trying to rebuild around their defense, this is a great start by attempting to rebuild from the outside. What makes it better is that the Canes are hunting after other Power 4 programs' talent, which will only improve the type of talent and competition that comes into the ACC.

The Canes also have a great selling point of showing that this level of talent can be drafted anytime and anywhere. The Hurricanes do need more defensive commits, as this recruiting class is primarily defense. Flipping Garrett and Jennings would be a fantastic step to upping the competition.

Miami, Oregon and Texas A&M are pushing for Auburn 4-star LB commit JaMichael Garrett, @ChadSimmons_ reports👀

“I am committed to Auburn, but I want to see what will be the best fit for me.”
