Before they take the field as college football players on Saturdays, several of the top recruits in the 2024 ESPN 300 are playing underneath the lights on weeknights.
A day after securing a commitment from top-five 2025 prospect Armondo Blount and six days after a big win over Texas A&M, Miami Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal was in the house in Hollywood, Florida, on Friday watching his prized wide receiver recruit, Joshisa Trader (No. 11 overall in 2024). Also in attendance and drawing a crowd was former Auburn QB and 2010 Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton, currently an NFL free agent.
