The Canes get huge commitment on defense from this star: ‘Home is where the heart is.’ | Miami Herald

With the possibility of Miami’s stellar starting linebackers all declaring early for the NFL Draft after the 2018 season, the Hurricanes just got a huge gift.

Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas four-star linebacker prospect Anthony Solomon, an Under Armour All-American, on Wednesday pledged to play for the Hurricanes beginning in 2019.

Solomon had dozens of offers, and had visited Michigan multiple times. One recruiting site, 247Sports, predicted there was a 75-percent chance he’d choose Michigan.

Solomon, listed as 6-0 and about 185 pounds, is rated the 12th best outside linebacker in the nation by 247Sports, and the sixth best by Rivals.
