DT Simeon Barrow, Jr. commits to Miami

When Miami lost senior Jared Harrison-Hunte to SMU, adding an upgrade at defensive tackle became their top objective. They have checked that box with the addition of Michigan State transfer Simeon Barrow, Jr. One of the most coveted players in the Portal, Barrow chose Miami over LSU, Texas and Missouri.

The 6'3, 290 redshirt junior is a two-time Honorable Mention All-Big 10 selection who compiled 110 tackles, 18.5 TFL, 10.5 sacks and 76 pressures over the past three years. He also blocked two kicks, displaying his explosive power, and was voted team captain.

As a three-star recruit out of Grovetown, Georgia, Barrow weighed 252 pounds and was listed as a DE prospect. He has maintained his quickness (verified 4.44 shuttle) while adding almost 40 pounds.

Barrow joins QB Cam Ward, RB Damien Martinez, WR Sam Brown, DT CJ Clark, DT Marley Cook, DE Elijah Alston, LB Jaylin Alderman, S Meesh Powell and CB D'yoni Hill in Miami's Portal class.

Great news to wake up to. Now someone remind Mario and Dawson to take a knee.

Gaby - “still not done”

The names I know: Baron, and then Mack or Ponds at DB.

Interesting on Mack. I’d imagine Meesh stays at Nickel in that hypothetical. Does the staff have a preference between the two?

Not sure which basketball player gif I feel this comment truly deserves, so I’ll just post both.

I like seeing this evolution of Cristobal. He wasn’t much of a portal guy before, but he’s really shown he can recruit it as well as he does HS players.

I think everyone has had to evolve to this new reality....myself included. I don't think it's a choice anymore.

Mack probably has a higher ceiling, but I think Mangham would be the better addition.

Is Mack and Ponds an “or” situation? I think Ponds should be a take regardless of who else we take.

Baron not signing yet is a little odd - D$ does that mean his step brother or cousin or whatever from Louisville is out as an option?

We need to put Powell where he’s already produced the best. I think we need him at safety because Kam and JW cleaned up ALOT of tackles the past two years and I worry we are going to desperately miss that with these projected safeties. Need the savvy vet.

Really want Ponds over the other two.

Is Mack/Ponds an “and” or an “or”?

I would find a way to take the two DB’s before I took Baron. They’re both rising sophomores so they’d factor in for the next few years

I would not call our Safety play 'good' under Kam or Williams. Evidently neither would the NFL.
