Miami got a BIG boost to their 2020 recruiting class moments ago when Deerfield Beach (FL) 4-star RB Jaylan Knighton committed to the Canes.
The 5’9” 194lb Knighton was once committed to Florida State (ew), but decommitted from the Noles after Willie Taggart was fired as coach. Since then, Knighton has visited Florida (double ew) officially and Miami unofficially, and in the course of those visits, has decided that Miami is the place for him.
Knighton is a dynamic offensive weapon for Deerfield Beach, a State Championship contender in Florida’s largest HSFB classification, 8A. He’s the ground game for a dynamic Deerfield Offense that is stocked with FBS talent all over the place.
