Four-star running back Jaylan Knighton from Deerfield Beach is a huge addition to the 2020 recruiting class for the Miami football program. With Knighton stated his intention to sign with the Hurricanes, Miami moved back up to 16th nationally ahead of ACC Coastal Rival North Carolina and second in the ACC behind Clemson.
Knighton is the nation’s 100th ranked player, 10th ranked running back and 18th ranked player in Florida for 2020. He gives the Hurricanes an exceptional duo in the offensive backfield commencing next fall. Knighton joins fellow four-star RB Don Chaney Jr.
