Ryan has Miami in his top schools along with ACC rivals Virginia Tech and Duke. He said the three schools are "really the main ones that I've been in contact with and I'm pursuing right now," and he's looking at committing to a program sometime before the fall season starts.
Miami offered Ryan late in the evaluation period after offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson watched him throw in person, and he said he's had steady contact with the Hurricanes' coaching staff despite being an underclassman target. Miami had him on campus Tuesday for roughly a six-hour unofficial visit that included a photo shoot, campus tour, meetings with coaches and video games with off-field assistants.
"For me as a quarterback, I really have a chance to be the center of the class and really help build a strong class," Ryan said. "Because if you have a good quarterback, that attracts everything. So I feel like for a quarterback to be one of the earliest commits for whatever school is a major part of recruiting."
He said Dawson emphasized that by winning, "everything else will come."
