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.

I could be wrong but signs are we look strong for Franklin too.

Now we’re talking. Lightfoot with Franklin and Artavius Jones is still out there with a few more.

Big time response to being punched in the mouth on the trail. We needed this in the worst way. Let’s keep adding.

From all the visits he’s taken (think it’s going on 5 now?) along with the glowing remarks he has for this staff and school every time he’s interviewed, he’s ours to lose tbh.

Oddly enough, noticed a lot of veteran posters who were no where to be found when recruiting was going good last year

They won't be in this thread either
