5-star RB Lingard commits to Miami

Feb 9, 2017

View attachment 42593

Just eight days after signing day for the 2017 class, Miami nabbed one of their top targets for the 2018 cycle on Thursday afternoon. 247sports composite five-star running back Lorenzo Lingard announced his commitment to Miami on Twitter a day after visiting Coral Gables.

Lingard hails from Orange City, Florida and attends University High School. He is ranked as the #2 running back in the country and #15 player overall. The 6-1, 190-pound back also has aspirations of competing in the 2020 Olympics. He is the defending state 4A champion in 110M hurdles and looks to take the 300M hurdles crown this year too.

Miami coaches Mark Richt and Thomas Brown have prioritized Lingard from the start – the two visited his school back in mid-January. That same week, coaches from Alabama, Ohio State, UGA and FSU also stopped by for Lingard.

CanesInSight’s Erick Marrero reported yesterday that Lingard seemed to be favoring Miami and Clemson heading into his unofficial visit to UM on Wednesday.

Lingard gives the Hurricanes their 8th commitment of the 2018 class as Richt looks to rack up his finest class at the helm.

No he wasn't.

McGahee and Portis were the burners at RB during the Butch years....and Davenport had solid speed before his knee injury.

In track and field he specialized in the hurdles

So you are saying he is fast.

Third fastest 110mH in state last year---only 2 people faster and they were seniors he was 10th grade.
Also 3rd fastest sophomore time in the US. These rankings include track guys only.

You mean to tell me Jeudy's thread had 195 pages well over 300,000+ views & 2,000+ comments and we knew that mutha****a wasn't coming since he committed to Bama back in August...

But we literally get the number 1 player on our board for 2018 & the BEST **** RB in the NATION & this **** only gon' get like 20 something pages?!?!?!??

Mannnn **** that! IDGAF if y'all are scared that he might not stick, if he doesn't then y'all can meltdown & cry, and I'll be right there with you...

But Yall mutha****as betta act like we just signed a Jeudy level type recruit & until he gives us reason to be worried, you need to celebrate the same way you would bhitch about it if we missed on'em!

BTW, this is an even bigger get than Jeudy... This is the kind of RB that leads you to the Playoffs & a National Championship!

Yall ****ride Dalvin Cook & worship the ground he walks on... Well nggaz this is our Cook, this is our Semenole Killa!!!

There will still be suitors calling, but he said he’s done.

“I’m really going to close my recruiting down,” Lingard said. “Any questions or stuff like that [other coaches] might have for me, I’m just going to have them talk to my uncle or my dad. Right now I have to focus on all my classes and track and stuff like that. I just need to keep a level head and focus on what I need to be doing.”

That's what I'm talking about!

Tweed, I know you got this. Beyond excited for this kid and the 2018 class. This is the start of our resurgence into the elite.

There's another big time recruit who had a family member on here that also has a great head on his shoulders and stayed committed for a long time....reminds me of Shaq

Sources confirm to CanesInSight.com that Lorenzo Lingard has completely shut down his recruitment

"He's shutting his recruitment down and forwarding his calls to coaches now."

"Florida just hit my DM asking if they have a shot and i said NOOOOOOO."
