UM has oral commitments from three of rivals.com’s top 60 offensive tackles: Bradenton-based Tyree St. Louis (No. 15); Bar Milo (No. 35; Brad Kaaya’s former high school teammate at Chaminade High in California), and Tallahassee-based Brendan Loftus (No. 59, wasn’t offered by hometown FSU). Penn State has been pushing for Loftus.
Milo said UM plans to use him initially at guard. UM also has oral commitments from three-star Venice, Fla.-based tackle Tyler Gauthier and Pennsylvania-based tackle Hayden Mahoney, whose other offers were limited (Akron, Boston College, Elon, Old Dominion).
“St. Louis is the best of that group,” Blustein said. “Big, strong kid. Does a lot of things well. Watched him for three days of practice at Under Armour and he’s a beast. Miami struck gold with him.”
UM already signed Brooklyn-based junior college three-star guard Jahair Jones, beating out Ohio State and Virginia Tech. And Royal Palm Beach three-star offensive tackle Fred Johnson has said UM is his front-runner, though UF is making a push.
