Kid is infatuated with Travis Hunter and the QB that FSU has on board. But like I’ve said, once the season plays out, FSU will lose their luster with alot of kids, him included. Won’t surprise me at all if with a good season, we can raise the interest here. Garcia playing a role here too.

Greer (SC) High School TE
Jaleel Skinnertook his Miami official visit over the weekend and says it went "really well."

"I really enjoyed it from the first day we got there till the day we left," Skinner said.
His highlight? It's when he walked up to Michael Irvin and David Njoku ... and he did not have to introduce himself.
"I was surprised that they knew who I was," Skinner said. "They are icons, told me a lot of things. They were just telling me about the brotherhood that they have there, that it's like a fraternity after you become an alumni there."
It was Skinner's last official visit before the dead period, and possibly his last official visit period.
Skinner has taken four of his officials so far - to UM, Florida, Alabama and Texas. He also has gone on unofficial visits to Florida State and Clemson. Skinner says he may be done with visits, but is unsure of that and is also unsure of when he will announce a decision. It could come this summer, it could come in the fall, or it could come on signing day.
"I might take one more official in the fall, but I don't know right now," Skinner said. "I don't know what my timeline is for anything."


What he does now: Miami is in the thick of things.

"Yes, indeed," Skinner said. "I am just trying to figure it out."

On his UM visit, Skinner spent a lot of time with tight ends coach Stephen Field.

"He was pushing the fact of how they use the tight ends now," Skinner said. "And just overall how the campus is, just have the University of Miami is overall."

Something also of note: Skinner is not your average tight end prospect. He also is his team’s starting punter, and insisted to coaches that he remain on kickoff team and special teams for this coming year ... He was the school's special teams player of the year last season.

"I don't like being regular," Skinner said. "I am more of a team player. I will do whatever we need to make sure we are the best."

CaneSport's take

This visit went very well, but we still consider Skinner a tough get for Miami. But he is very unsure of where things stand with all of the schools, so maybe as he gains some clarity UM will be high up considering his opportunity to go the field very quickly at Tight End U.
