The Miami Hurricanes carried their momentum on the recruiting trail from July into August, securing the verbal pledge from another blue-chip defensive back recruit this week.
Markeith Williams, a four-star safety prospect out of Maynard Evans High School in Orlando who’ll be coached by former UM and NFL defensive end Kenard Lang this year, announced his commitment to Miami on Instagram Live Wednesday evening, giving the Hurricanes their fourth four-star defensive back recruit for their 2022 class.
Williams, who’s ranked as the No. 14 safety in the nation and No. 22 player in the state by 247Sports, was recruited by outside linebackers coach Ishmael Aristide and defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson, both of whom are Miami natives who joined coach Manny Diaz’ staff earlier this year.
