Miami Hurricanes continue to roll with Riley Williams commitment

The Miami Hurricanes added another big playmaker to their tight end room on Friday afternoon. 2023 four-star tight end Riley Williams committed to the Hurricanes on Friday evening.

Williams is the second overall tight end in his class, and the 15^th overall player in his class from the state of Florida per the 247Sports Composite rankings. He has several offers on the table from big-time schools. In the end, Miami was competing with Alabama and Ohio State. Ultimately, they were able to seal the deal.

Tight ends coach Stephen Feld was his primary recruiter.

What can he bring to the Miami Hurricanes?

Measuring in at six-foot-six, 230 pounds, Williams is a force to be reckoned with at the position. His size is evident, especially in the red zone. He is the type of tight end that allows quarterbacks to just throw the football up with confidence. He has tremendous athleticism, and is able to use that size to pull catches in from tough angles.

Williams is not limited to red zone play however. He also has the ability to play well in the open field. As soon as he catches the football, he is able to make things happen after the catch. His speed translates very well for the tight end position, and that will allow him to be a multi-faceted weapon, not just a red zone target.

This is the third tight end in an absolutely loaded 2023 class. The Miami Hurricanes now have three tight ends that could easily get the starting job. The tight end battles during camp are going to be must-see TV.

The Miami 2023 recruiting class is continuing to climb. They now have 11 overall commitments, including five four-star commitments. The class ranks 14^th overall per the 247Sorts Team Rankings.

This is an absolutely major get for the Miami Hurricanes, and I would expect this class to continue to grow. We could be looking at a top 10 recruiting class sooner rather than later.
