Lingard is the third ranked running back and fifth-ranked player in the state of Florida. Four of the top ten players are still uncommitted.
Among those players is cornerback Patrick Surtain Jr. He is the son of former Miami Dolphin Patrick Surtain. Miami is one of dozens of schools that Surtain is considering.
Lingard seems certain to be among the early signees in the newly created December signing period. The running back who moonlights as a track star in the spring is one of 18 Hurricanes committed to Miami’s top-ranked class of 2018.
Lingard has been performing at a high level even when placed against other greats in the class of 2018.
