CB- Jhavonte Dean

BIO- 6’2,180lbs, Blinn Community College, Breham, TX

Rank- ESPN (4 star #2 ranked JUCO cornerback), 247 (4- Star, .8966 Sports Rating)

Analysis: Dean has great size for a cornerback. He seems to relish one on one opportunities in tight coverage. The one time former Alabama commit would essentially be relied upon to fill the void of Corn Elder and Adrian Colbert’s departure from the secondary.

An original three star commitment to Cincinnati, Dean has elevated his stock to four star status while at Blinn Community College. You have to like his junior college experience as Miami looks to land this talented cornerback’s signature this Wednesday.

Should Dean ultimately decide on Miami which seems inevitable at this point. he would have a great chance to start right away. Colbert played for the Hurricanes last season as a graduate transfer from Texas. He was a key contibutor in the secondary.

Prediction: Miami 95%
