As a coveted four-star prospect at Glynn Academy in Georgia, Miami Hurricanes freshman DeeJay Dallas did a little bit of everything.
He played quarterback, receiver, running back and defensive back in high school, while returning punts and kickoffs, too. He was named the Florida Times-Union 2016 Player of the Year after rushing for 1,201 yards and 15 touchdowns while throwing for another 911 yards and eight scores.
Coaches from major programs — including Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Florida State and Georgia — all saw Dallas’ versatile skill set and wanted him on campus. But it was Miami where he landed, and it’s the Hurricanes who are showcasing his skills in a big way.
