"“The coaches are so genuine and I really enjoyed talking with coach coach Joe (Salave’a) and coach Cristobal…The atmosphere was incredible, the campus was great and overall, the trip was way better than I expected. .. Coach Cristobal was the first coach to offer me when I was in 8th grade when he was at Oregon.I still remember talking to him and how the offer went down. He was so easy to talk with back then so I was wondering if it would still be like that when I saw him this weekend and it felt like old times.”"

This weekend is the second scheduled unofficial visit to the Miami football program. Breland previously visited last month. Nine other schools have previously received unofficial visits from Breland. Breland has not taken an official visit yet. Oregon and USC are the only other programs that have received two unofficial visits from Breland.

Breland will visit Georgia a second time in June. Georgia is the only program that Breland has a future visit scheduled to per On3. Both visits that Breland took to USC were in 2022. Defensive line coach Joe Salave’a is listed as Miami’s primary recruiter for Breland per On3. At 6’5 and 285 pounds, Breland has a lean muscular build.
