In an effort to bolster both the Defensive End and Tight End positions, the Miami Hurricanes were chasing after 4-star TE Keon Zipperer and 4-star DE Lloyd Summerall. The pair, teammates at Florida 7A State Champion Lakeland, are among the highest rated players at their respective positions, and were targets for Miami before Summerall transferred to be Zipperer’s teammate prior to this season.
However, despite Miami’s best efforts in recruiting the talented teammates, both Zipperer and Summerall elected to sign with the Florida Gators, as they announced on ESPN just moments ago.
This is a big, double recruiting loss for Miami, but it is not unexpected.
