Since being hired in December 2018 to replace Mark Richt as the head coach of the Miami football program Manny Diaz has re-emphasized making the “State of Miami” a priority in recruiting.

Recruiting well in South Florida is most prevalent at quarterback. The tri-county State of Miami is not the hotbed at QB than it is in the other skill positions, particularly on offense. Even the Miami championship teams usually went elsewhere to find QBs.
