2021 ATH Chamon Metayer committed to the Miami Hurricanes just over a year ago in February 2019, and has not wavered since then. Although Metayer was originally recruited as a jumbo linebacker that could potentially grow into a defensive end, he mostly played receiver and tight end for Miami Central last season, and has expressed that he’d prefer to play offense in college. After Metayer talked to the UM coaches about it, the staff is on board with a move to tight end.

“I’ve always wanted to play offense,” Metayer said. “The coaches were all excited about the change and how I dominated in high school this year on offense. I improved majorly this year. I'm too much of a gangster catching the ball - when defenses see me, they see a savage that can't be stopped, a whole different breed.”

As a longtime commit, Metayer has been a regular on Miami’s campus over the past year, and he continued that trend by attending the Canes’ Junior Day late last month. The 6-5 220 pound prospect got more of an in-depth rundown on the new offense, and was able to build a stronger relationship with his new position coach, tight ends coach Stephen Field.

“The visit was great as usual,” Metayer said. “I was mainly speaking with coach Field because of my transition into a full-time offensive player. He was basically telling me how it's an ‘Air Raid’ offense and there's going to be no-huddling at times. He’s just been telling me great things and showing me how I fit into the offense.”

After learning more about what his role would be in the offense and meeting some of the new offensive coaches at Miami, Metayer said his commitment is even stronger now.

“My commitment is solidified,” Metayer said. “Moving into this year, coach (Rhett) Lashlee made me feel even more solid knowing he throws the rock and everyone eats in the offensive schemes he runs. That was just a big plus in my mind, as well as me building bonds with the other coaches such as my main man coach Field, coach (Blake) Baker, coach (DeMarcus) Van Dyke, coach (David) Cooney, and especially coach (Manny) Diaz.

“I love their passion for this game and knowing the sacrifices they'll make to succeed is just outstanding. They will make the crib great for real, with no doubt. If you don't love what they're building over there, then you can watch us succeed in the future.”

In terms of the rest of the 2021 class, UM is again off to a fast start with a consensus top 10 class right now among recruiting services. Of his classmates, Metayer says that the future Canes will be a group to be feared by opponents.

“Like I once said, this class is loaded with some very great people and there's a difference in just being good and being great,” Metayer said. “I'm a fully-loaded savage, a gangster on the field, and that's what we need at the U, bringing that swagger back.”

Does he have anyone in mind he wants to add to the class?

“I’m not worried about the next man, I'm here to get the job done,” Metayer said. “I'm rolling and rocking with whoever’s with me.”

Over the offseason, Metayer left Miami Central and transferred back to North Miami for his senior season; he originally spent his first two years of high school ball with the Pioneers.

With the time off over the spring and summer, Metayer says he will mainly be focusing on his mental game.

“First thing first is academics,” Metayer said. “I know what I have to do to be great for another year in high school football. It's all about how I mentally take on the challenges that come this year.”

Kid is an athlete but rumors are he is a huge disciplinary issue. There just rumors but if its true PAAASSSSS ON HIM!!! Same with Lewis, done with the knuckleheads. Enough good character kids down here that you dont have to settle.

Kid had some quality tape on both sides of the ball. Honestly, on defense his tape reminded me a little bit of Rousseaus HS tape. At TE, he looks solid. My concerns are playing inline and blocking. Him and Brantley would be a nice combo just hope they are ready to be TEs and not just a big body WRs.

It’s been a few great two way players in college history, Charles Woodson , champ bailey , adore Jackson, have there ever been a two way player college player that was a great DE and TE I Hope he can do both and change history

Maybe I need new glasses because I watched his film twice and came away extremely underwhelmed. No run after the catch highlights, terrible blocker, I do see the size but what else does this kid have. Someone help me out. Even on defense I didn’t see anything that jumped off the screen.

hopefully I’m wrong but I definitely see why he’s a 3 star.

This kid has no idea what he's doing at TE. He's a big, raw, twitchy athlete. Get him on campus, redshirt him and find his best position. Let him continue to develop physically. He's going to end 255-260 by the time he's a junior. I believe he'd make more of an impact at DE but I can see where he'd be a matchup nightmare for defenses at TE working inline or in the slot. At TE his value is in the red zone and short-yardage situations. Areas where we need help.

And he wont know until he gets here. I doubt there is an official te coach at North Miami where he is playing.

I'm in agreement with you..unless he can run down on kickoffs or punt...shirt him and let him get into strength and conditioning.

I still think he ends up DE lol.

But I'll take those two for sure.

Or OL? 6'5" 220 as a HS junior is pretty **** big for a TE. I honestly don't care though. If he's an elite football player, get him on the boat and figure out where he fits later.

But, man, I feel old listening to that kid talk. I know it's what's up these days, but humility seems to be an entirely lost trait.
 
He'll end up like Greg. Two way kid, super athletic, but end up with his hand on the ground.

He looks like a capable TE but not overly impressive ala Greg at WR.
