2. Michael Harley, WR (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

Michael Harley is a 5-foot-9, 155 pound wide receiver that the Miami Hurricanes have high on their list entering National Signing Day. The Hurricanes have just one wide receiver committed to their recruiting class. With two receivers graduating, Miami has room for a few more receivers on the depth chart.

Harley is rated 303rd in the nation, 42nd-best at his position and the 40th ranked receiver in the state of Florida, according to 247 Sports. With Miami and West Virginia in his top two, Harley tweeted the winner of the Russell Athletic Bowl would get his commitment. But then he changed his mind and said he would go to West Virginia. However, on January 22, Harley tweeted that he was reopening his recruitment.

Ironically, the Florida native took an official visit to West Virginia on January 20. His other official visits were to Utah on October 7 and Miami on January 13. Who knows, maybe he was being serious with his tweet after all.

The Hurricanes could really use his pledge as National Signing Day approaches on February 2. Mark Richt and company could use the playmaker’s ability on their fast-paced offense in the future.

Harley will make his real decision on February 1.
