Miami Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

4. Jhavonte Dean, CB (Blinn College)

The Miami Hurricanes are in the running for four-star cornerback Jhavonte Dean, a junior college prospect. Dean is rated as the 12th overall player available on the JUCO circuit, second best cornerback by position and fourth best in the state of Florida, according to 247 Sports.

Originally, Dean signed to play with Cincinatti before transferring to Blinn College. He committed to play for Alabama, but both sides mutually parted ways. He decommitted from the Crimson Tide on January 21.

Dean would be a contributor right away on a defense that loses cornerbacks Corn Elder and Adrian Colbert, who were seniors last season. The Hurricanes, as mentioned earlier, only have one cornerback commit this year’s recruiting class. With Dean, the Hurricanes could very easily climb into the Top 10 recruiting classes.

The Florida prospect took an official visit to Florida State on January 13. His only other official visits were to Arizona State on December and Utah. Despite having a number of offers from the likes of Alabama and Florida , all signs currently point to Dean choosing the Hurricanes in the end.

Miami continues to make a final push as National Signing Day approaches on February 2. Dean’s decision won’t be expected until then.
