Hurricanes receive two commitments at Junior Day, including So. Fla’s top running back

The Miami Hurricanes had a busy Junior Day on Sunday — and it has already resulted in a pair of commitments for first-year head coach Manny Diaz’s 2020 class.

Belen Jesuit running back Don Chaney and Palm Bay Rockledge athlete Ladarius Tennison announced their verbal pledges Sunday.

Picking up Chaney is big for the Hurricanes, who are trying to make sure South Florida’s top players remain in the state. Chaney, a 5-11, 195 pound running back, is ranked as the 50th overall player in the class, second among all Miami-Dade County players and the top South Florida running back, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
