The Orlando native stuck with Miami even after temporarily delaying his commitment to presumably hear a final pitch from the Gators and other programs.
It’s another big win over Florida and Gators first-year head coach Billy Napier. Quarterback Jaden Rashada also chose the Canes over Florida earlier this summer.
Miami is now up to 15 commitments in the class of 2023. The Canes’ cycle ranks No. 7 nationally, per 247Sports Composite rankings.
