A name that routinely flies under the radar when talking about Hurricane defensive line targets is 2027 DT Jamar Thompson.
However, the 6-foot-3, 300-pound lineman with national offers from schools such as Ohio State and Michigan made his interest in Miami clear. The West Boca product pointed to freshman running back Javian Mallory’s development and had some interesting things to say on where Miami stacks up in his recruitment.
Overall visit recap:
“It was great coming out here, seeing everybody compete and dominate. It was good to watch them practice and do their thing.”
“Really just came here to see where I fit in Miami’s scheme, I like how everything's going. So I think I'll be a good fit.”
“The [D-line] did great today. I see them going out to compete — trying to get back to the natty.”
On what stands out about Miami:
“I know that I got two great D-line coaches looking over me … “Knowing that I have a coach that's going to push me every day to my limits to be great, I know that I could trust them.”
"[Cristobal’s] a great guy, you're gonna get a lot out of him. You are for sure going to get a guy who wants to win.”
On the message from the coaching staff and that impact:
“Really just being consistent. Go hard every play, don't give up, push through every play and it'll come out great.”
On having Miami interest as a local talent:
“Just to know that I got a great school in my backyard. I mean, it's great to have.”
“Seeing [Javian Mallory], how good a mental mindset he has from coming here and how big he got develop-wise, I feel like I'll be able to do the same thing.”
On where Miami stands in his recruitment process:
“Top one”
