Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceloa cornerback Carlos Becker made one of the spectacular plays during the FHSAA State Championship Games weekend.

During the Class 8A game against Pembroke Pines Flanagan, Becker (6-2, 180) tracked a deep ball and came away with an impressive interception that took tremendous ball skills.
That play was all new Miami had coach Mark Richt had to know about Becker to decide that the Hurricanes should now target the talented cornerback down the stretch.
“I talked to coach Richt on Monday and he told me that I now have an offer from Miami,” Becker said. “That was pretty cool to hear.”
Becker has his official visit dates filled up at this point, but Richt encouraged the in-state prospect to come down to the UM campus for an unofficial visit.
“Coach Richt just told me he had no idea why Miami didn’t offer me before, but now he wants me to visit,” Becker said. “As soon as he saw my film, he wanted to offer me, so I am going to go down there after the dead period and see what they got.”
Becker has already taken official visits to Wisconsin and N.C. State. He plans to take official visits to Ole Miss, Florida State, and Kentucky. At this point, N.C. State and Kentucky are the schools showing the most interest.
Becker grew up in Miami as a child before his family moved to Georgia and then settled in Kissimmee. Growing up in South Florida, Becker admits he was a fan of the Hurricanes.
“I am from there, so that was pretty much the school you cheer for when you live there and you are a kid,” Becker said.
Becker had never had any contact with Richt before Monday, but he did make a nice first impression during their brief conversation.
“Coach Richt seems like a good guy when I was talking to him on the phone,” Becker said.
“The biggest thing for me is just how comfortable am I going to be with the players and coaches there,” Becker said. “I want a good atmosphere.”
Before Becker will take his college visits, he will play in the Under Armour All American Game.
“I am looking forward to competing with some of the best players in the country,” Becker said. “I look forward to show what I got.”
Becker is a three-star prospect according to 247Sports and ranks as the No. 62 overall player in Florida. He finished his senior season with 74 tackles, ten pass break-ups, and six interceptions.
