Miami's coaching staff made it known that it was not taking a day off from the recruiting trail on this holiday.
They made waves in Broward county today by offering standout 2015 defensive end Jason Strowbridge. Strowbridge had a breakout year this year at Deerfield Beach high school.
"My trainer, Tony Sands, is good friends with (Miami running backs coach) Hurlie Brown and they talk a lot. So I got to school today and there was a rumor that I got offered," Strowbridge told CanesInsight.com. "I didn't know for sure. My dad called (Brown) today to make sure and they actually did."
The six-foot-four, 241-pound Strowbridge was pleased the 'Canes finally offered, but had been expecting it for a while.
"I was thinking it was about time because they was always sending me mail and stuff and kept saying they need me and all that but I never saw an offer so I was kind of confused," said Strowbridge.
While the 'Canes may have kept Strowbridge guessing, they have always had his interest.
"(Miami's) real close to home. It's a real family atmosphere, so I feel more at home there than any other school really," Strowbridge said.
Strowbridge is looking forward to Miami's next Junior day on January 26, as he plans to be in attendance.
Strowbridge just returned from San Antonio, Texas where he competed in the US Army All-American combine where he and some of the top underclassmen from around the country showed off their athleticism and skills.
"I did pretty good in the one-on-one's. I had a bad 40-yard dash but I had a good vert, and shuttle," said Strowbridge.
He also wants to hear from a couple more colleges such as, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, and Ole Miss
**Strowbridge notes that his other three offers are from Marshall, Temple, and West Virginia
