Marquise Lightfoot commits to Miami

In perhaps the biggest recruiting win of the cycle thus far, the Miami Hurricanes landed the commitment of elite pass-rusher Marquise Lightfoot from Chicago.

Lightfoot, the #6 ranked EDGE prospect and the #67 player overall in the 247 Composite rankings, chose Miami over Ohio State and USC. The 6'5", 220-pound edge rusher from Kenwood Academy sat high on Miami’s overall board due to his combination of length, explosive power, closing speed and effort. I’m told he looked the part of an elite prospect in person, and the coaches absolutely love his aggressive nature on special teams.

While many thought he would sign with the Buckeyes, Miami made a huge move on his official visit this past weekend. This was a huge win for Mario Cristobal, who desperately needed recruiting momentum after the losses of DT Justin Scott and WR Jacory Barney.

It’s not fair to compare any player to Phillips, who was maybe the best athlete we ever had at D-end. bu this kid looks like he has the motor and quickness. Phillips was also exceptionally strong and you just never know about how strong someone will become.
But he looks **** good.
Awesome commit.
