One of the nation’s top tight ends will compete at Miami next fall.
Third-ranked tight end recruit Jaleel Skinner overturned his commitment from the Alabama Crimson Tide to the Hurricanes on Friday — the December signing period’s last day. The 6-foot-5 receiver of Bradenton’s IMG Academy announced his official decision over social media, before UM football confirmed the signing moments after.
“First and foremost I want to say thank you to the coaches at the University of Alabama for accepting me when I committed earlier this fall I really appreciate you guys for everything you did for me and my family,” Skinner wrote in a Twitter post.
