Not much good can come out of a 28-24 weekend loss to a conference rival, where breakdowns in the secondary allowed a third-string quarterback to find open receivers for late scores.
One bright spot is the recruiting trail and the fact that ballers nationwide are watching the Miami Hurricanes, see some glaring weaknesses and know that freshman will be relied on to get the program back where it belongs.
Kayvon Webster knows his hometown Canes are in need of some immediate help, which prompted a Monday night phone call to Aubrey Hill and the announcement that Webster is headed to The U.
The three-star safety from Monsignor Pace High watched the Canes fall to the Tar Heels and said that the defensive back struggles helped him come to his decision.
Webster is a 5-f00t-11, 181 pound, three-star prospect who runs a 4.4-forty. He chose Miami over Ole Miss, South Carolina, Sourth Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, Florida and LSU. He said his commitment is almost 100% solid and has mom in his corner, as Mrs. Webster wants her boy to stay home for college.
Webster joins Jamal Reid (DB/ATH), Prince Kent (WR/DB) and Brandon McGee (DB) as the four Miami commit that should immediately boost the 2009 secondary.
Last February Miami coaches stockpiled at linebacker and wide receiver, which were two glaring weaknesses for the Canes. For next year’s class, the secondary, offensive and defensive lines are all areas Randy Shannon and staff plan to reboost.
Welcome to The U, Kayvon.
