Dream come true: 3-star WR Lee commits to the Canes

Recruiting for Miami in the 2022 cycle has been, well, slow to say the least with fans growing a little restless. The Canes’ lone commit is QB Jacurri Brown, but with the June 1st lifting of the dead period looming, recruiting should pick up very soon. Soon as in Wednesday afternoon, when 3-star WR Quan Lee out of Gainesville committed to the Canes.

Lee committed to his dream school over West Virginia, UCF, Nebraska, and Coastal Carolina at a small ceremony at his high school. He has alluded to his relationship with QB Jacurri Brown as a big factor in choosing the Canes, having experience playing with Brown on the 7-on-7 circuit.

Ranked as the 86th-best receiver in the country according to the 247Sports’ Composite, he’s still a very under-the-radar prospect with limited tape but don’t let the stars and ranking fool you. 

Turn on the tape and you’ll see that Lee is easily one of the fastest and shiftiest prospects in the country, all while being a very physical wideout who is very solid at high-pointing the ball.

At receiver, he caught 47 passes for 1003 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2020 while also lining up at running back and cornerback for the Bobcats. As a result, he was a Gainesville Sun All-Area first-team selection.

Even while committed, Lee still has plans to take all five of his official visits, with trips locked up to see West Virginia, UCF, and Coastal Carolina. Lee will visit Coral Gables during the June 11th weekend, where he will be joined by Brown.

This is a huge get for the Canes after they missed out on Georgia-based receiver Isaiah Bond, who committed to Florida recently.

Recruiting should get really interesting starting next Tuesday, June 1st, when Miami will host a BBQ Cookout for a star-studded list of 2022 prospects. Expected attendees include the likes of 4-star Miami Central LB Wesley Bissainthe, 4-star CB Khamauri Rogers out of Mississippi, and American Heritage’s elite trio of CB Earl Little, CB Jacolby Spells, and DE Marvin Jones Jr.
