WEST MELBOURNE, Fla. --*The University of Miami offered American Heritage Plantation cornerback*Tarvarus McFadden.
Two days later he attended Miami’s first junior day.
McFadden shared the message from the Miami coaching staff.
“They are trying to build a new cornerback dynasty,” McFadden said. “They want big corners to come in and hold things down. They said I could be the start of that if I were to go to Miami. I could start something great.”
Looking back at that junior day experience, McFadden enjoyed his time at UM.
“It was fun,” McFadden said. “I got to meet the coaches and talk to them one-on-one. They talked about the schemes and coverages that they like to run. They run a lot of man coverage. That is what I like. They showed me the campus a little bit too. I enjoyed it all.”
Even though Miami offered later than schools who are big contenders in his recruitment like LSU, Florida State, and Georgia, McFadden maintains that doesn’t hurt UM’s standing.
“I give all the schools who offer me an equal chance,” McFadden said. “I just have to pick the school that best fits me.”
McFadden is participating in many 7-on-7 tournaments this offseason and plays for the South Florida Express. He is working on continuing to refine his technique.
“I am working on being more patient at the line of scrimmage and building more confidence in my abilities,” McFadden said. “Confidence is one of the biggest things for a cornerback. You have to be confident and have a short memory.”
At many of these 7-on-7 tournaments McFadden’s team will line up against Kevin Toliver’s team, who hails from Jacksonville. Toliver is widely considered the top cornerback prospect in the country in the 2015 class.
“He is a great player,” McFadden said. “He is a good corner and I am a good corner. I enjoy watching him and competing against his team. We talk a lot. We don’t have any real bad vibes between us. We don’t beef or anything like that. We just enjoy competing.
McFadden is rated a four star prospect by 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 51 player overall in the country.
