Miami is potentially in the driver’s seat for one of the best running backs in the nation.

Four-star running back Myson Johnson-Cook out of East St. Louis (IL) has been projected to land at Miami. According to On3’s Allen Trieu, he projects the Hurricanes to land the 6-foot-1, 220-pound running back.

Various recruiting ranking sites have rated Myson as a four-star prospect. 247Sports lists him as the 74th-best player in the 2027 class, the 4th-best running back, and the 3rd-best player in Illinois.

Teams like Missouri, Oregon, Tennessee, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Texas A&M, Georgia, LSU, Alabama, and Illinois, along with many other top schools, are also heavily pursuing the four-star recruit.

Myson just recently got off a Miami visit from this past weekend, where CanesInSight’s Sebastian Font caught up with him. You can check out more there on how he liked the Hurricanes visit. However, the On3 staff said it was enough to project him toward Miami.

Myson had a productive junior season. He finished his junior year at East St. Louis High School with 126 carries for 1,341 yards, averaging 10.6 yards per carry, along with 20 touchdowns. He also caught three passes for a total of 45 yards. As a sophomore, he ran for 911 yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 10.4 yards per carry. He also caught four passes for 27 yards and one touchdown. He helped DeSoto to an 11–3 record and a Texas 6A D-II state quarterfinal appearance.

Like I said, the recruiting freakout usually comes in the summer. We're early adopters this year.

And a freak out comes when we actually lose multiple targets.

I went there on a recruiting trip in 1983 (yeah, I'm old AF) and boosters were standing outside as we were leaving handing out 100 dollar bills to every recruit as we walked by. Nothing secret about it

100. They were known for those handshakes and proud of them.

I’d rather have you attack the post and not the poster, this would be a better contrasting point of view don’t you agree?

I had to look at your tremendous amount of post on CIS my compliments many many years but I was surprised in reply .

We’re good moving forward

Here’s the deal. You trashed a highly touted recruit after you’ve been seeing from some unreliable sources that he might pick Auburn. How about you wait until he makes his decision and actually signs with a team before the negative **** comes out. Remember that next time chief.
