Manny Diaz and The New Miami has added some beef to its offensive line.

Hutchinson C.C. offensive guard Ousman Traore told 247Sports and InsideTheU early Friday that he plans to transfer to Miami after spending Thursday in Coral Gables on an official visit.

"It's just the coaches," Traore said over the phone. "By the work I put in. I believe [Butch Barry] can help me get [to the NFL] and help me grow as a person on and off the field.”

Traore, who is listed at 6-4, 337 pounds, started 11 games as a true freshman this past season at left guard for the Blue Dragons and was a first-team all-conference selection. He is a full qualifier that is eligible to play right away for the Hurricanes.

While some think Traore is coming in to help Miami at tackle, he's actually viewed by Barry as an interior guy.

"I'm going to be a guard," Traore said.

Traore informed the Hurricanes of his decision after a dinner with Barry, Diaz and offensive coordinator Dan Enos. Diaz celebrated the news with his signature "#TNM" tweet before adding the phrase "#WinTheTrenches."

LSU was hoping to get Traore on campus this weekend for an official visit, but the Atlanta native said that he has canceled that trip and is shutting down his recruitment. He added that he will start classes at UM in early July for the school's "Summer B" semester.

Miami has plenty of questions along the offensive line heading into the season. Barry, who has been tasked with replacing five players who started at least five games over the past few seasons, spent much of spring ball mixing and matching his personnel. While some guys got more run in certain spots than others, it's still unclear who will make up the starting five. Traore will likely compete for playing time at one of the guard spots opposite of Navaughn Donaldson assuming Corey Gaynor gets the nod at center and Delone Scaife gets run at left or right tackle.

Traore isn't the only recruit on campus this weekend. For a full VIP preview of the huge recruiting weekend on deck for the Hurricanes click, here.
