Tirek Austin-Cave joins the Miami football program as part of a desperately needed strong linebacking corps in the 2020 recruiting class. Miami loses three four-year starters at LB following the 2019 season. Austin-Cave joins Romello Height who committed to Miami earlier this week, Corey Flagg and Alvin Mathis as LBs for 2020.
Austin-Cave’s commitment to the Miami football program solidifies their ninth-place standing among 2020 recruiting classes. He is the fourth LB to commit to Miami for 2020. Only Height ranks higher among the Hurricanes recruits at LB. Manny Diaz initially offered Austin-Cave during his short stint at Temple.
