A commitment from Richardson would help a Miami offensive line that could lose as many as eight players on the two-deep depth chart after the 2021 season. That number would be a nearly worst-case scenario. The Hurricanes have to add depth for the future after signing three OL in the 2021 class.
The Miami football program signed four-star guard Laurence Seymore, tackle Michael McLaughlin and three-star center Ryan Rodriguez in the Class of 2021. Head coach Manny Diaz and OL coach Garin Justice impressed signing McLaughlin, Rodriguez and Seymore on the 2021 OL. They have work to do for 2022.
Next. Miami in good place for 4-star WR Isaiah Horton. dark
Four-star Federal Way OT Malik Agbo and three-star Jacob Hood from Nashville are other OL to watch for Miami in 2022. Miami currently only has four-star quarterback Jacurri Brown, cornerbacks Chris Graves and Khamauri Rogers and three-star wide receiver Landon Ibieta committed for 2022.
