Pearl River CC DT Dalvon Stuckey has been committed to Miami since late April, when he flipped from Florida State. That hasn’t stopped members of his family from supporting the ‘Noles.
“Most of my family is Florida State fans. My mom, my dad, and some of my cousins are Florida State fans. My mom was shocked when I first told her because I had never talked to her about Miami, but my family is going to be where I’m at regardless. Some of my cousins play with me sometimes saying I’m a traitor, but they’re with me regardless,” said Stuckey.
One of the main reasons for his switch to Miami was defensive line coach Jethro Franklin, with whom he has developed a strong relationship.
“He’s just a cool dude, man. He recruited me out of high school, but I didn’t really conversate with him then. He came here and told me that I was a much-needed guy and they needed D-Tackles. Everything he said to me really just fit so I just decided to commit since it all sounded right. I feel like Miami is a good place for me with a lot of tradition and I believe everything he told me. He a good dude though and he talks to me all the time.”
A recent Miami DT commitment reached out to Stuckey last night.
“I know there’s one named Travonte (Valentine). He added me on Facebook last night so I’m going to chop it up with him a little bit and conversate to see what he’s about. I heard he was pretty good.”
The 6’4”, 310-lb lineman feels very good about the shape he is in right now.
“We work out and run every day, Monday through Friday. With the new coaches that we have here now, they treat this program like a D-1 program so right now I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.”
He has his sights set on being able to contribute early on for the ‘Canes.
“I’m trying to be a guy that comes from JUCO and makes a name for myself my first year at Miami. I’m trying to really help the team and make a big difference.”
The decision to choose Miami was a simple one for Stuckey.
“I just wanna play in Florida and Miami is a good school so there’s no reason for me not to go there if I want to be in Florida.”
Stuckey hopes to be able to enroll in January and is confident he will be able to do so.
“I’m working on that right now because I have a lot of stuff I need to handle, but I’m trying to get to where I can enroll in January. I’m pretty confident that I will do it because of the coaching staff we have here and all of the help that they give us.”
