Miami Hurricanes make top four for four-star offensive lineman

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes made the final four for 2023 offensive tackle Olaus Alinen on Friday afternoon.

Alinen is a four-star recruit. He is the 14th overall tackle in the 2023 class, and the top player the state of Connecticut per the 247        Sports Composite Rankings. Miami is part of a top four that includes Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State.

Alinen moved from Finland to the United States for his junior high school season.

What could he bring to the Miami Hurricanes?

He is very quick as soon as the ball is snapped. He is able to extend his hands quickly, and that allows him to engage in blocks quickly. Alinen can play either the right or left tackle positions, and that could be a plus for the Miami Hurricanes offensive line.

Measuring in at six-foot-six, 315 pounds, he is a very sturdy lineman. Particularly in the red zone, his size allows him to create space quickly and give running backs extra yards to the end zone. He is a sturdy lineman, who is able to push his matchups around with ease.

Alinen could also have a chance to work with Alex Mirabal if he were to commit to Miami. This would undoubtedly help with this development given Mirabal’s track record of producing and developing talented lineman.

Currently, the 2023 Miami Hurricanes recruiting class ranks 19th overall nationally. They rank third overall in ACC per the 247Sports Team rankings. This class has the potential to be filled with talent.  The Miami Hurricanes coaching staff will get their first full crack at a recruiting class.

The expectations for this 2023 class are extremely high. With Alinen placing the Miami Hurricanes in his top four, that gets them that much closer to landing a premium offensive lineman. He has to make his final decision of course, but the Miami hurricanes are in a good position to land him.

Miami Hurricanes to host five-star QB Jaden Rashada on two-day visit

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes have continued to recruit at a torrid pace, and they will have a quarterback from California coming in later this week. 2023 five-star quarterback Jaden Rashada will be at Miami this Thursday and Friday per Matt Shodell of CaneSport.com.

Rashada is the best overall quarterback in the 2023 class. He is also the fifth overall player in the class from the state of California per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He does not have any Crystal Ball predictions at this time. Boasting over 30 offers, Oklahoma, Miami, Oregon, and Tennessee are all ones of note.

Measuring in at 6-foot-4, 185 pounds, Rashada is a pocket-passing quarterback. One of the strengths of his game is his arm strength. Mobility is not something that he brings to his game necessarily. However, he has other skills that make up for it.

With that being said, he can step up in the pocket and make throws , especially if he feels the pocket collapsing. He can throw the deep pass with ease, and he also does so accurately. He is the type of quarterback that you need in today’s game, as he can stretch the field and get the ball down the field in a hurry.

Rashada would give Miami get yet another tool in the chest at the quarterback position. The 2023 recruiting class is shaping up to be a very strong one. It ranks 19th nationally and third overall in the ACC per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The class itself only has four commitments, but more will undoubtedly be on the way.

With this being a two-day visit, this could work in the Miami Hurricanes favor. If they were able to land Rashada, this would give them another big-time weapon for the future. Stability under center is a hallmark of successful collegiate programs. A commitment here would point Miami in the right direction.

Miami Hurricanes land physical four-star OL Antonio Tripp

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes were able to land a commitment on Tuesday afternoon. Four-star offensive lineman Antonio Tripp committed to the program. The commitment came following a two-day visit to Coral Gables.

Tripp is the 19th overall interior offensive lineman in his class, and the seventh overall player in his class from the state of Maryland per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

All of the 247Sports Crystal Balls for Tripp pointed towards Penn State. The majority of them were low-confidence ones. not only that, they were put in a while ago.

Nevertheless, Tripp still had interest from many schools.  This just speaks to the job that the coaching staff can do in terms of recruiting. It seems like the Hurricanes are always in the mix for a certain prospect. This staff gives them a chance to go toe-to-toe with anybody.

Measuring in at 6-foot-3, 300 pounds, Tripp will be able to bring several skills to the Miami offensive line. he is a very solid technique player. He is able to extend his hands quickly and stay square on passing plays. Athleticism is also something he brings the table. Particularly on screen plays, he is able to get out in front and  set up blocks for the running back.

Tripp is also able to bring physicality to his game. With that physicality, he can set up running lanes and allow the running back plenty of room in order to make a play. The way he is able to pull and set up blocks will undoubtedly be an asset to the Miami Hurricanes offense.

With this commitment, the 2023 Miami Hurricanes recruiting class continues to get stronger. This marks the third commitment of the 2023 recruiting class, and the class itself is just starting to take shape.

Tripp is undoubtedly going to help the Miami Hurricanes offensive line. He is the type of lineman that Alex Mirabal can work with and make into a great player.

Miami Hurricanes: No. 1 2023 prospect to visit campus this weekend

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes will get several big-time prospects on their campus in the month of March. One of them is 2023 five-star defensive lineman David Hicks. He will make a visit to Coral Gables this weekend per Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports.

Hicks is the top player in the state of Texas and the sixth overall player nationally per the 247Sports rankings. Right now, he is predicted to go to Texas A&M via the 247Sports Crystal Ball. He took two unofficial visits to Texas A&M on September 18 and November 6. He also attended the Aggies Junior Day on January 20.

However, the Miami Hurricanes have been known to make strong recruiting pitches to prospects. They will certainly need to do that here.

What could take Hicks bring to Miami Hurricanes?

What could Hicks bring to  the Miami Hurricanes? For one, he could bring a pass-rushing presence. He is extremely strong and fast. One of the things I really liked when I was watching his highlights was his versatility. He played very well off the edge, and was able to use his size and speed to get past the offensive lineman. He used his hands and struck quickly in order to get to the quarterback.

That same athleticism was on display when he was playing on the inside as well. He was able to overpower the offensive lineman, and seal running lanes. Hicks was very good at taking proper angles on a play. It seemed like he always stayed square with the ball carrier, and was able to get a good read on the play before it fully developed.

Hicks recorded 13 sacks for Allen High School last year.

The 2023 Miami Hurricanes recruiting class is still being built. However, they do have some good athletes in the class. The class itself ranks 27th nationally and fifth overall and ACC per the 247Sports team rankings.

I’m not expecting Hicks to commit this weekend. It will be nice just to get him on campus, and let the coaching staff try to work their magic. They will have their work cut out for them, as it is difficult to get players to leave the state of Texas. Nevertheless, this coaching staff has the ability to go toe-to-toe in recruiting in even some of the toughest areas.
