Miami landed one of the hottest names in South Florida with the addition of fast-rising Miami Central LB Vincent Shavers.

Shavers, a Miami Gardens native, stands 6'1 and weighs 200 lbs. He chose Miami over Maryland and Rutgers.

Shavers spent the last two years honing his craft at Monsignor Pace High School before transferring to Miami Central this spring. As a two-way player, he took snaps both at linebacker and running back.

According to MaxPreps, he totaled 56 tackles, 10 quarterback hurries, 8 sacks, 2 pass break-ups, 2 fumble recoveries, and an interception in just 10 games.

Shavers spent much of his sophomore year working as a stand-up pass rusher. His tally during that season was 69 tackles and 8 sacks, clearly showing his versatility and impact on the field.

Shavers' improvement this spring has been meteoric, generating significant local buzz, much like Stanquan Clark did last year. A source told Canesinsight that Jason Taylor watched him practice this spring and subsequently gave a glowing review to the rest of the staff.

This commitment from Shavers further bolsters the Hurricanes' promising 2024 class.

and him.

I can’t believe we dropped him… My worry on Defense isn’t scheme nor is it in game coaching. My concern is that either Mario or Guidry aren’t evaluating lbs and secondary well recently…

Could be development to an extent. Our LBers are meh --the young and the experienced.

Absolutely not. There is seniority, experience, politics involved. He wouldnt get the reps to take his spot.

I believe Ray Lewis had his first start as a freshman against Colorado (the brawl game) and I think he had 17 tackles. He might not have even started. That may have happened a game or two later.

Robert Bass got hurt and Lewis got the start

Fantastic. That would make 3 successive staffs that ignored those positions.
