Miami Hurricanes Football: Five Positions That Need to Avoid Injury in 2015

Miami Hurricanes Football: Five Positions That Need to Avoid Injury in 2015 by Justin Fessenden

Sunday is “U-Day” on campus at the University of Miami and the coaching staff is hoping to make an impact on a lot of 2016 and 2017 recruits during an all-day event. Well, U-Day is off to a great start after 2017 CB Nick Roberts decided to verbally commit to the Miami Hurricanes.

Roberts is a 5’11 cornerback with pretty good skill. He’s also a teammate of 2016 linebacker commit Shaq Quarterman at Oakleaf. Roberts is also on campus with Quarterman today and that’s when he decided to commit to Miami.

I asked Roberts if Quarterman’s commitment to Miami played a role in his commitment and he said, “I couldn’t pass it up. I love playing with Shaq,” he said. “He’s like a big brother to me.”

Roberts also said that the tradition and the coaches had a lot to do with his commitment during U-Day.

“It’s football in paradise. Fun city, great education, winning tradition, five national championships and a history of sending guys to the NFL,” he said. Roberts also told me that he loves the relationship he has with the coaches because they’re all about “brotherhood and education.”

With this commitment, Miami now has 9 commits for the 2017 class, and Roberts becomes the first cornerback that Miami lands in this cycle.

If you want to know more about Roberts and his game, here are his sophomore year highlights.

Now let’s hope that more commitments come out of U-Day, but until then…

WELCOME TO THE U, NICK!
