Recruiting Notes
*Ford is a dynamic player that can run and catch well. He’s not the biggest prospect at 5-foot-6 and 165 pounds, but he’s electric with the football in his hands.
Stanquan Clark, Miami Immortals 7v7
*Clark is committed to Louisville, but there’s a good chance that head coach Scott Satterfield is getting fired. Can the Canes flip him? He’s one of the fastest rising prospects in South Florida.
*Mays is a long and lean prospect with a high upside. Wake Forest did an excellent job of getting in on his recruitment early and gaining a verbal commitment. The Miami coaching staff is working to flip him.
*The overall group coming from IMG Academy is impressive, led by the commitments. The big goal is to add elite 2024 cornerback Desmond Ricks to the group of committed players. He’s taking a long look at the Hurricanes and has been to campus before. He will likely be a national top 10 prospect for the class of 2024.
*Gibson and Willor are also big-time prospects from IMG Academy with a plethora of scholarship offers. Miami is in the hunt for both and continues to build relationships with each prospect.
*Scott is the rare 300-plus-pound defensive tackle that can move down the line of scrimmage and track down a screen pass. He’s a national recruit that will have his pick of schools. Good for Miami to get him on campus early in the process.
*Stone is one of the hardest working prospects in Georgia and already committed to LSU. That has not stopped Miami, or other programs, from attempting to flip him. Stone could play safety or the hybrid linebacker position.
*Patterson is a part of the talented junior class at Chaminade-Madonna that all have offers from Mario Cristobal and the Canes. He’s a versatile player that can play in the box or be a single-high safety that plays sideline-to-sideline.
*Andrews has garnered several offers from around the country and will be a top target for many programs.
*Pickett is a natural pass rusher that registered 22 sacks in 2021. He has vast potential as a true weak side defensive end.
*Taggart is the son of Florida Atlantic head coach Willie Taggart. He’s a unique player that’s already 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds. His recruitment is going to be highly competitive.
