There's still plenty of work left to do as he has to keep progressing as a pass protector, but I think what's notable is the fact that he just turned 17 years old, meaning that he could technically be in the class of 2028, and he's at a high school that's foundation is built in the weight room."

*Much closer to Anez than that kid from a couple cycles ago that we ended up dropping.

Mirabal visited Tyler in January Tyler will be visiting for a spring practice and is also planning an official visit. Canes offered in May 24 (before UGA) though UGA offered early and is reported to lead.

Mirabal wiped out UGA's early lead and he committed to the Canes on April 15, 2026.

(Pet peeve of my mine so i have to comment)

This does not mean that lol. He is in his proper grade; however, I’m very glad we got a baby beast.
