Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons Top100 defensive end Khris Bogle announced on National Signing Day that he's headed to Florida.

The news certainly stings for Miami given the fact how hard the Hurricanes had recruited the local edge rusher over the past year and a half, but it hasn't taken long for Manny Diaz and his assistants to turn their focus towards another defensive lineman.

InsideTheU has learned that contact between Miami and Virginia Tech defensive end Trevon Hill has picked up significantly over the past 24 hours and that there's a chance the graduate transfer could ink some paperwork with the Hurricanes as early as Wednesday.

New UM defensive coordinator Blake Baker met with Hill last week while out on the road recruiting.

Hill appeared in 27 games over the next two seasons for the Hokies, starting 16 of them. The former three-star recruit had 11 tackles in three games this past season before being dismissed following a “heated exchange” with an unidentified member of the team’s staff during halftime of VT's 49-35 loss to Old Dominion.

The Hurricanes have been more than active in the NCAA Transfer Portal. Since Diaz became head coach, the Hurricanes have added former four-star quarterback Tate Martell from Ohio State, former four-star defensive back Bubba Bolden from USC, four-star transfer wide receiver K.J. Osborn from Buffalo and former three-star defensive tackle Chigozie Nnoruka from UCLA.

Hill is taking 18 credit hours this semester in order to graduate in May. He would have one year to play one at his next school and would be eligible to play right away.
