The Miami football program is holding steady in the “ACC Spotlight: Winners and losers of June recruiting” per Adam Gorney the Rivals.com National Recruiting Director in a post published on Wednesday. The 2024 Miami recruiting class is trending up following a commitment from four-star edge rusher Marquise Lightfoot.
Lightfoot committed to the Miami football program on Monday. Rivals lists Lightfoot as the 86th prospect, the third player in Illinois out of Chicago Kenwood Academy and the fourth-best weakside defensive end in the 2024 class. Most other recruiting sites are classifying players as edge rushers instead of defensive ends.
