Miami football positions missing in 2024 class

The Miami football program has commitments from every position in its 2024 class except tight end, interior offensive lineman, edge rusher and cornerback. A pair of 2024 Miami commits could move positions once they matriculate in Coral Gables. Miami has nine 2024 commits at eight different positions.

Four-star wide receiver Chance Robinson is the only blue-chip Miami commit in the 2024 class. The Miami football program has commitments from safeties Isaiah Thomas and Dylan Day, RB Chris Wheatley-Humphrey, LB Vincent Shavers, OL Juan Minaya, QB Judd Anderson and DL Daylen Russell.

Minaya is listed as an offensive tackle. Many national experts project that Minaya could move inside in college. Russell is an edge rusher at Columbus but some scouting reports project he is more suited as a defensive tackle in college. Day has played several positions in the secondary per his 247 Sports scouting report.

Miami also has a commitment from kicker Abram Murray. With 37 official visits in June, expect many commitments to Miami in the next month. Miami is trending for several high-profile prospects in the 2024 class. Eight of the 2024 prospects taking official visits to Coral Gables in June are trending to Miami.

 

Three-star prospect K.J. Duff at 79 percent and unrated Max Randolph are trending to Miami at tight end per On3. Four-star Tampa Wharton prospect Booker Pickett is the lone edge rusher trending to the Miami football program. Expect Jason Taylor to gain commitments from at least a pair of blue chip edge rushers for Miami in 2024.

Anderson, Minaya, Robinson and Thomas are included in the nine prospects trending to Miami. The uncommitted 2024 prospects trending to Miami that are taking official visits to Coral Gables in June are cornerback Ricky Knight, defensive lineman Justin Scott and linebackers Keyshawn Flowers, James Nesta and Cam Pruitt.

Scott is the highest-ranked prospect among the five uncommitted players trending to Miami who are taking official visits to Coral Gables in June.

Flowers is a three-star prospect who is the 488th prospect, 53rd LB and 15th in Maryland. Miami leads with a 30 percent chance for a Flowers commitment.

Nesta named Miami, North Carolina and Oklahoma as his top three on Friday.  Pruitt is the 402nd-ranked prospect, 40th LB and 24th player in Alabama in 2024.
