For months, it seemed as though Ft. Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas 4-star DT Braylen Ingraham was a lock to commit to Miami. But, recruiting is a weird world and things change, and such a thing happened on Tuesday night when Ingraham announced his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Ingraham had been on the board for Miami as a premium recruit for nearly 2 years. Starting in his time at Ft. Lauderdale (FL) Dillard HS, Miami was the first major program to target the 6’4’ 270lb Ingraham as a premium player. Having played with current Miami DT Jon Ford at Dillard, the evaluation was simple: Miami only had to look at the player playing next to Ford to see Ingraham and judge his prodigious talents.
