Jhavonte Dean is a local product.
Despite spending the last two seasons at Blinn College playing JUCO football in Texas, Dean has Miami roots out of South Dade High School. The same high school that 2018 Miami commit DJ Ivey attends, and former receiver Tyre Brady graduated from.
But Dean’s role in 2017 will transcend the impact made at his high school, as he is projected to be Miami’s starting outside cornerback in August. Malek Young has been projected to take a Corn Elder caliber leap as well, but at 6’2”, Dean presents more size than Young on the outside.
