Miami Begins Work On 2016 Recruiting Class
Miami, FL-- As the college football calendar passes from Spring Football to the slow months of the summer, the University of Miami has hit the trail hard in recruiting, offering 15 scholarships in the last week.
Led by new Defensive Coordinator Jeremy Irvin, who also holds the title of Recruiting Coordinator, Miami has set out to fulfill the goal that Irvin discussed in his introductory press conference: locking down the state of Florida.
It is a bit of a down year in the state, with RB John Perkins being the only player in the state to receive a 5-star ranking from ESPN. Nevertheless, Irvin stated that there is "so many underrated players" in the state for 2016, and "if other schools look them over, so much the better for us.
Here is a list of the recruits that were recently offered. You'll notice that Irvin has kept his word- 11 of the 15 are native Floridians.
