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.
