According to On3's Industry Recruiting Rankings, Israel Briggs is the Nation's 131st ranked player, the 8th ranked tight end in the class, and the 15th ranked player out of Florida. After decommitting from Arizona State, Briggs was heavily considering Miami and LSU making this a massive win for the Hurricanes.
Landing Israel Briggs is another massive addition for the Miami Hurricanes and their recruiting class which is now ranked 7th in the Country after signing the 14th ranked class in the Country. Mario Cristobal is building a loaded recruiting class especially on the offensive side of the football.
Along with the Nation's top ranked recruit Offensive Tackle Jackson Cantwell, the Hurricanes hold commitments from Top 300 commits in WR Vance Spafford, TE Israel Briggs, QB Dereon Coleman, and OT Ben Congdon.
The Hurricanes star studded recruiting class should only get stronger as the recruiting dead period gets underway. The Hurricanes have put themselves in a great place for players like WR Jasen Lopez, WR Tyran Evans, OL Breck Kolojay, and In-State RB Derrek Cooper giving the team a chance to explode on the recruiting trail.
