Miami receiver D'Mauri Jones officially off Miami roster
D'maurijones
Hurricanes receiver D'Mauri Jones is no longer on the Miami roster. The University of Miami just confirmed that Jones will not be back this spring.
There are now five scholarship receivers on the roster. Those would be 6-1, 187-pound senior Stacy Coley, 6-5, 215-pound sophomore Lawrence Cager, 6-0, 190-pound redshirt senior Malcolm Lewis, 5-9, 180-pound junior Braxton Berrios and 6-4, 218-pound redshirt sophomore Darrell Langham.
Jones, who would have been a 6-4, 208-pound redshirt senior from Leesburg, Florida, was listed this past season as "contributing on special teams'' and as seeing "limited action in regular season.'' He recorded his first career catch against FAMU in 2014 as a sophomore. In 2013 as a redshirt freshman, Jones was on the field against FAU, Savannah State, USF and Virginia. However, he did not have any catches.
Other players who previously were taken off roster and will not return are defensive linemen Jelani Hamilton and Earl Moore. Both would have been redshirt seniors.
On Wednesday, National Signing Day, the Canes will definitely sign two players that played receiver at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale: four-star speedster Sam Bruce and three-star tight end Michael Irvin II. Also set to sign is four-star receiver Dionte Mullins of Miami Gulliver Prep. Mullins did not play this past season because his GPA was too low. It remains to be seen if he'll actually qualify at UM.
Four-star Wellington receiver Ahmmon Richards, will announce between Miami, Alabama and Auburn on signing day, Kelvin Harmon of Palmyra (N.J.) -- rated three stars by 247Sports.com and four stars by Rivals.com -- will announce Monday night. Harmon, 6-3 and 180 pounds, had 66 catches for 1,111 yards and 14 touchdowns; and 38 tackles, three forced fumbles and an interception this past season. He was originally announcing between Miami and NC State, but was also offered today (Monday) by Mississippi State.
Randrecous Davis of Atlanta Mays visited the Canes Jan. 22 and subsequently took Georgia out of the running. But Davis visited South Carolina, UM's main competition for his services, this past weekend and had a great time, according to 247Sports. “The trip was awesome,” he told 247Sports. “I loved everything down here. The coaches, the players and everybody is just cool and fun to be around. It made me feel like I was at home.” Davis also told the recruiting website that South Carolina now has the edge.
Receiver Latrell Williams of Lake City Columbia is a UM commit who liked his Tennessee visit Jan. 22, so who knows?
And the Canes are hoping to flip big Javon Wims, a 6-4, 215-pound receiver from Hinds Community College, from his commitment to Georgia, per our Manny Navarro.
Also, Valley (Alabama) defensive lineman Tyreic Martin committed to the Hurricanes Monday after his official visit. He could eventually play tackle, a position at which the Canes sorely need depth.
UM now has 11 commits in addition to the five who are already enrolled.
