Jahfari Harvey was virtually unknown when the Miami Hurricanes offered him in January. None of other Florida schools from Power 5 Conferences had taken note of the defensive end from John Carroll Catholic and his three-star grade from the 247Sports.com composite rankings.
An offer from a school like Miami forces people to pay attention, though, and Harvey has made the most of the extra eyeballs. Now a 4-star prospect, Harvey committed to the Hurricanes in June and their early belief in the defensive lineman has helped make Harvey comfortable with decision, even as teams like the Georgia Bulldogs and Boston College Eagles have reached out.
