Shocking News: Hurricanes Finally Replace…..

For the past twenty years, the Miami Hurricanes have been pushing for a return to the top of the college football ranks. Every season begins with great expectations and ends with letdown. But this offseason, they have acquired some solid assets through the transfer portal. Rodney Hill, a former running back for Florida State, is another fantastic addition to the program.

Hill had committed to Florida A&M initially, but Willie Simmons, the running back coach, resigned to take a coaching position at Duke. He decided to renew his recruitment and signed with the Hurricanes in the end. With the Seminoles, Hill never received regular playing time; in two seasons, he only accumulated 334 running yards and two touchdowns. The Hurricanes have a deep running back group, but skill position players find Miami appealing because of their strong offensive line. He will be eligible for another three years.

Signees for the Miami class of 2024 have received a promotion from one of the top recruiting agencies.

A number of Miami signees have received a boost in the final class of 2024 rankings published by recruiting service On3 Sports.

Marquise Lightfoot, a defensive end, not only gained his fifth star but also moved up into the top 10. Justin Scott, a defensive tackle, came in straight behind Lightfoot at position 11. Based on On3’s rankings, Lightfoot and Scott are Miami’s two 5-Star signings.Quarterback Judd Anderson is another new signing for the Hurricanes who received a big increase. Anderson is ranked 277th overall and has earned his fourth star.

Edge Booker Pickett Jr. moved up from 300th to 98th place this month after playing well in two high school all-star games.

Jordan Lyle, a running back, is rated as a 4-star on every recruiting website; however, On3 ranks him much higher than the others, placing him at 37th overall—just five spots shy of the 5-star mark.The Hurricanes rank fifth in the nation according to On3, fourth in the nation according to 247Sports, and fifth in the nation according to Rivals. The Hurricanes are the best in the ACC and in the state of Florida on all fronts.
