Jayvon Dawson, '27 LB (Lantana Santaluces)

[CT Cane 44]

Do you think he is an edge, off ball LB or a little of both?

How did Purdue sneak in there? Degree he likes or something?

Ty!

I hope you & your son feel the same way about THE U! Miami does not want to let Jayvon Dawson (Santaluces) leave South Florida. He has some of the best testing metrics in America (6’4, 220 with speed), good grades and good film. The only question is whether he is a DE or LB.

Recruiting is speeding up even before official visit season, so it’s a good time to take the temperature of the class. Here is the latest I’m hearing:

- I haven’t heard any optimism yet regarding Mark Matthews (STA). With that said, his situation is different than Jackson Cantwell this time last year. Unlike Missouri, Florida does not permit early NIL deals. I don’t think it would’ve mattered with Cantwell anyway, but Matthews will be more vulnerable for a flip and Miami will push like crazy.

- The Canes could have likely landed Olu Olubobola (Jersey City, NJ) but the price...

Alma mater of Vince Wilfork and Darrell Langham. Physically he reminds me of another Santaluces Cane, Zack McCloud. Plays off-ball LB and EDGE. If these numbers below are anything close to verified, he's a must:

he got the offer and said we were his dream school so that kinda set the pace in this recruitment.

@Jewell, @Adamcanes

Does the player or the staff have a lean on position? DE seems likely as weight will be added with age but that type of movement and twitch at LB would be damned useful.

Happy we landed the kid but Dennis’s tweet was a little misleading

Interesting that they list him as an EDGE, not a LB.
