Miami Hurricanes probable landing spot for former Oregon lineman

The Miami Hurricanes could have another offensive lineman coming their way. Former Oregon lineman Jonathan Denis signed with the Ducks in the class of 2020. He entered the transfer portal on Sunday night, and there is a possibility he could end up with the Hurricanes.

As a recruit, Denis was a three-star lineman. He was the 14^th overall offensive guard in the 2020 class, and the 53^rd overall player in his class from the state of Florida per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Denis committed to Oregon on July 27, 2019.

He did not see any action while at Oregon. While at South Dade High School, he was a two-year letterman, and a team captain as a senior.

Denis could end up with the Miami Hurricanes, as noted in a report by CaneSport.com. This would make sense, as he was recruited by Alex Mirabal while at Oregon.

Reunion with Mirabal could be good for Denis

Mirabal could help Denis continue to develop. Measuring in at six-foot-three, 279 pounds, Denis is a very sturdy lineman. As soon as the ball is snapped, he immediately engages his hands. He can also go up against edge defenders, which buys his quarterbacks enough time to scramble out if pressure is coming off the edge. He is very sound in his technique.

The Miami Hurricanes have a solid base on the offensive line. Center Jakai Clark, guard/tackles DJ Scaife and Justice Oluwaseun as well as guard Jalen Rivers all figure to be pieces on the line. Denis adds depth to the line, and gives Cristobal and Mirabal another one of their former recruits.

This would be another solid get for the Miami Hurricanes, as they continue to build their program in the Cristobal era.  Each day, the foundation for the future of the program is being set. Getting another physical lineman in the fold would add to that.
