Miami (FL) Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes have landed another star player as they land the commitment of four-star edge DeAnthony Lafayette.

The 6-foot-1 230 lbs. Orlando, Fla. native decommitted from LSU after Brian Kelly was fired and Mario Cristobal took advantage of more players that he knows can be a massive impact player.

This is the second commitment in back-to-back days as the Hurricanes also landed safely JJ Dunnigan after he decommitted from Kansas.

Miami has now secured commits from the two FHSAA 7A leaders in sacks. Lafayette holds 14.5, while Asharri Charles recorded 12.5 in the regular season.
