DT Logan: ‘Miami was and is My Dream School’

Miami has done the majority of their recruiting work in Florida but at defensive tackle, they’ve taken more of a national approach.

Destrehan (La.) star Glen Logan got their attention when Jethro Franklin was in Coral Gables. The offer went out late in the season but Randy Melvin has picked up the trail wherever it had been left off.

“They basically keep in touch, I communicate with Coach Melvin and I talk to Coach Golden on Twitter,” Logan said. “They were my dream school when I was younger so we’re building off that. Plus Ed Reed came from Destrehan too so that’s another thing. I’ve met him before but we’re not that close.”

Logan (6-4, 270) may have had an affinity for the Hurricanes in the past but he’s realized that extends up through the present as well.

“The more I think about it, Miami is still a school to be reckoned with,” Logan said. “I know I said it was my dream school but it is my dream school now. I’ve always been a fan of them and that hasn’t changed. I’m trying to get my dates in order so I can take the visit down there.”

Twenty schools have offered Logan with the biggest names being Alabama, Clemson, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, TCU, Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M.

“I had a top ten before but some of them changed lately so I’m open right now,” Logan said. “I would like to commit early though so I can take some of the pressure off. I’ll start planning a lot of visits over the summer and maybe even do a few camps. Some definates are Miami, TCU, Auburn, Alabama, and Georgia.”

Logan has only seen LSU so additional trips, in addition to his impressions of coaches, will help him eventually differentiate between his options.

“I want to have a relationship built with the staff and my position coach,” Logan said. “I’m looking for a cool dude who can help me develop as a player. He needs to be easy to get along with so we don’t have any problems. Taking my visits will help me figure out how serious I am about different schools.”

Logan had 8 sacks in 2014 for a team that didn’t lose until the state finals in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

“Cameron Wake and J.J. Watt are a couple guys I try to play like,” Logan said. “I view myself as an all-around defensive lineman who can lineup at any of the positions. I can rush the passer, stop the run, and I’m a leader on the field. The biggest thing I’m working on is my timing coming off the ball.”

Logan is a four star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, ranking him 16th in the nation at his position and 13th overall in the state of Louisiana.

We got a great chance to land him it seems

i think he'll fall in love with UM when he visits, he's only been to LSU so something new will probably blow him away.
 
Louisiana should become our top out of state recruiting ground.

There are players from there that really like miami. They always have good defensive prospects too at d-line and linebacker.
 
4star out of state DT from Louisiana of all places with offers from Bama and L$U is going to choose Miami?

I'll believe that when I see it...

Ain't the first time someone used the old " Miami is my dream school" and signs elsewhere, and it definitely won't be the last.

Miami has a huge fan base in Lousiana for whatever reason, maybe because of Ed Reed but Players from there want to come here. they dont have that negative perception like we do. they still miami as "THE U"

But, but New Jerzzey!
 
And lsu currently leads for three 5 star d-tackles from louisiana so that might help the chances of getting him.

Louisiana has about 6 or 7 4-5 star d-tackles this year and lsu can't take them all.

Sloppy seconds, I'll take them, but pardon me if I refrain from holding my breath.
 
Ed Oregon will not let this kid leave Louisiana, end of story. The OP's story is nice, but LSU is tired of loosing top in state talent to bama and other schools which a major reason they brought in Orgeron. So let's think about when Oregon pitch's this kid he will say I was the one coaching all those great dlinemen at UM and I can do the same with you at LSU or you can go to UM an be coached by a guy from Indiana who is biggest player development has been a temple player.

Go Canes

Well, according to 247 composite, Logan is the 3rd best DT in Louisiana, so he ain't sloppy second! If LSU prioritize another 4 star over him, you can be sure we'll need to fight others SEC schools a lot!
 
Who knows but my goodness people, Have you ever been to Louisiana or Tuscaloosa for that manner. If we start winning the turnaround will be dramatic and quicker then you think. Miami sells. It's a dynamic city offering everything a young man could hope for and when the day is over you go home to Coral Gables the crown jewel community in South Fl. Why wouldn't a kid want to go here. Win and we have a product that is hard to match.

Been saying this for the longest but no one seems to understand. Recruit Louisiana like other states do Florida. Yes there are three big universities in Florida and one main one in Louisiana but like I said they can not take everyone. I wanted us to go after Kirk Merritt bad all last cycle. The things I see working against us with Louisiana DTs is our defensive scheme for lineman. Logan's high school runs 3-4 a lot but coaches have it out for Golden and do not like his mind set. Also the hire of Ed was Big, he's trying to land four to five DTs this cycle including Logan, Alexander, Lawrence, and Oliver.
