In today’s installment of The Recruit Notebook, we meet a record-setting RB with breakaway speed and the pedigree of greatness for the Canes: RB Jaylan Knighton.

Bio

For years, the Miami Hurricanes have struggled to recruit elite players from Deerfield Beach (FL) High School. Whether it was Denard Robinson, or Adrian Witty, or Jason Pierre-Paul (but, in fairness, JPP wasn’t JPP until after he had to go to JUCO and get his mind and life together), or Brandon Powell (he of #GottaFeedTheFam twitter infamy), or Jerry Jeudy, or Riley Ridley or Jason Strowbridge or many others, the Canes seemed unable to get a single DBHS player after QB Derrick Crudup in 1999.
