Miami Among Finalist For 4-star DL Jamar Thompson

[Trinton Breeze]

Boca Raton (FL.) defensive lineman Jamar Thompson, a 6-foot-3, 305-pound, playing his ball at West Boca Raton High School, narrowed his list on Thursday afternoon to just four schools.

The Miami Hurricanes and Mario Cristobal's squad made the cut for the defensive lineman, alongside Auburn, Michigan, and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Jamar is considered a four-star talent by all four major recruiting sites. He's a top 20 player at his position and the No. 177 overall prospect in the 2027 class...

Interesting top group for a South Florida blue chip

Thought I’d read somewhere (maybe here) his HS coach is an OSU guy and pushing there? Hopefully the kid wants to stay close to home.

Close their pipeline to FL, TX and GA and those Buckeye leeches fall somewhere between Michigan State and Minnesota

To be fair, there's actually a lot of talent in their own backyard. Maybe not quite at FL/TX/GA levels, but plenty nonetheless.

They seem to let a lot out of Ohio imo they’re to focused everywhere else

We got one last year in Milan Parris. In a few top 100 lists, though his final schools didn't seem typical for that level of recruit.

Lots of kids don't necessarily want to stay close to home - especially with NIL, though it's hardly a new thing.

That said, this seems like a year where two-thirds of our class could come from Florida. Just a really good year in-state.

They have the luxury of focusing on big time national prospects, prioritizing Fl, CA and TX, knowing that most Ohio kids will jump at an offer later in the game. Most kids up here dream of playing in Columbus, so they’ll accept being slow played in a way that South Florida boys won’t. Ohio State, as much as I hate them, they are an elite national brand and based on their record and NFL production they can recruit from Washington state to Maine. Mario has us back in that class and I love his approach to going in anyone’s backyard and planting the flag. That man is relentless.
