5-star WR Calvin Russell sets commitment date; Miami set as a Finalist

Five-star wide receiver Calvin Russell, who received an offer from Jai Lucas on the basketball side a couple of weeks ago, has now set his commitment date for July 5.

Russell is considering Miami, LSU, Florida, Michigan, FSU, North Carolina, Oregon, and Syracuse.

Russell is a five-star prospect from Miami, Florida, standing at 6 feet 5 inches tall. He plays for the Miami Northwestern team, which won the Sunshine State 3A title under the guidance of former NFL quarterback and current coach Teddy Bridgewater. During the season, Russell caught 39 passes for a total of 704 yards and scored 13 touchdowns, in addition to running for 2 more touchdowns. In the championship game against Jacksonville Raines, he recorded 4 receptions for 59 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Russell is ranked as the 21st player in the nation, the 3rd among wide receivers, and the 2nd-best player in the Sunshine State.

Russell is currently visiting LSU and is also set to visit Florida State next month in June. However, he doesn't have a visit set up with Miami just yet.

The versatile athlete, who plays in both track and field, has received basketball scholarship offers from schools like Michigan, Illinois, LSU, Arizona State, Penn State, FAU, and Tulane.

Can the Hurricanes land one of the best receivers in the Sunshine State? We shall see very soon.
