The Miami Hurricanes have been busy recruiting over the last couple of weeks, and they will have an intriguing visitor this weekend. 2023 five-star quarterback Dante Moore is set to visit Coral Gables while in town for the battle Miami event. This news was first reported by Gaby Urrutia of 247Sports.

Moore is the third overall quarterback in the 2023 class, and the top player in his class from the state of Michigan per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He has offers from all of the big-name schools. In addition to Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Penn State are just some of the schools that have extended an offer his way. He is the most interested in those four.

Moore completed 177-of-244 passes, throwing for 3047 yards, 40 touchdowns and three interceptions for Martin Luther King High school in Michigan. One of the things that sticks out to me in particular about his game is his pocket presence. He does a very good job of being able to set his feet and identify his read quickly to make the throw.

In addition to just what he can do in the pocket, he also is able to make throws on the run. Primarily, it seems like he wants to stay in the pocket to make his throws, and that is certainly his strength. He also possesses a very good deep ball, and is able to deliver the ball with accuracy. There is a reason why he is a highly-rated quarterback, and it is extremely evident when you look at his tape.

Currently, the Miami Hurricanes’ 2023 recruiting class ranks 45^th in the country and sixth overall in the ACC per the 247Sports team rankings. That will change quickly, as Miami currently only has one commitment in the class. Lamar Seymour is the only player in the class right now. He committed to Miami back on April 16, 2020.

I’m excited that Moore is coming into town. If he is in town for Battle Miami, it’s encouraging that he wants to visit the campus. Who knows if anything will come from it, but he just adds another big name in what is going to be a productive weekend for Miami.

Recruiting news is flying for the Miami Hurricanes. One particular name to watch is 2023 tight end Mac Markway. He is scheduled to visit Miami next Saturday. This news was first reported by Steve Wilfong of 247Sports.

Markway is the fifth overall tight end in the 2023 class, and the third overall player in his class from the state of Missouri per the 247Sports Composite rankings. A four-star recruit, he initially committed to Florida on July 27. He decommitted from the program on December 19.

In addition to Florida, he had 27 offers. Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU, and Michigan were just some of the schools that extended one his way. He also received offers from Miami and Oregon.

What would he be able to bring to Miami Hurricanes?

Measuring in at six-foot-four, 250 pounds, Markway plays physically. When I watched some of his highlights, I was impressed with the way he was able to block. That’s not to say he lacks receiving skills, he does very well in that department. He is able to find soft spots in defensive zones, and make possession catches. He has solid hands, and relies on the combination of route running and good hands to make plays.

It seems like he functions really well as somebody that can make things happen after the catch, rather than being a big-play, stretch-the-field tight end. That is certainly not a knock on him. Blockers and intermediate route tight ends are equally as important to the offense.

There are other schools in play for Markway. One of those schools is Iowa. He is scheduled to visit Iowa next Sunday. Due to Iowa’s history of developing tight ends, the Hawkeyes may present a challenge to the Hurricanes. We will have to see how this plays out.

We know that the Miami Hurricanes are going to have a big recruiting month. Hopefully, some news will come in favor of Miami this weekend at the All-American Bowl. However, there are some other dates that we should keep an eye on.

One of those dates is January 22. That is the day that Monroe Freeling plans to visit Miami. This was first reported by Brian Dohn of InsideTheU.

Freeling is a four-star offensive tackle. He is the ninth overall offensive tackle in the 2023 class, and the top player in his class from the state of South Carolina per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

This is certainly interesting to me for a couple reasons. For one, this is a case where the coaching staff, specifically Mario Cristobal and Alex Mirabal, will be following up. They have done their homework on this lineman before.

Another reason this is a little bit intriguing to me is because he was offered by the Miami Hurricanes when Manny Diaz was still the head coach. The offer was officially extended on May 29. Points of contact have already been established. In both cases, this could help the current coaching staff land him.

As we’ve seen here in the last couple of days, Miami has really begun to focus on getting offensive lineman into the program.

What would he bring to Miami Hurricanes?

Measuring in at six-foot-seven, 283 pounds, Freeing s a physically imposing lineman. One of the things that jumped out to meet when watching his film was that he was not afraid to finish his blocks. This in turn opened up holes and running lanes for the running backs.

One of the key things that  was noticeable was that he was a dominant force on the line. This is something I am noticing with all of the lineman that Miami is interested in. They all seem to be dominating matchups, and  are physical.

Currently the Miami 2023 recruiting class ranks 46th nationally and sixth overall in the ACC per the 247Sports Team Rankings. This is certainly nothing to worry about, as I expect those rankings to improve shortly.

I will be interested to see what comes of Freeling’s visit. This is another case where the Miami Hurricanes could be in a good position to land a recruit.
