After another successful recruiting weekend, the Miami Hurricanes are now on the board for anoyher flip target.

The Hurricanes have flipped two Clemson commits, and now they are on the move for LSU decommit defensive lineman De'Anthony Lafayette.

The four-star edge decommitted from the Tigers, according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals. The 6-foot-1, 230 lbs Orlando, Fla. native had been committed to the SEC team since July. However, there are many uncertainties about where the start of the season looked for the Tigers and how they look now.

The Hurricanes see this and are looking to take advantage of an opportunity.
