Miami football leads top 7 for 3-star TE Korey Duff
The Miami football program is the favorite after being named in the top seven for three-star tight end Korey Duff. The 247 Sports composite rankings list Duff as the 628th prospect, 29th TE and fourth player in New York in the 2024 Class. North Carolina, Rutgers, Syracuse, UCF, Texas and Texas A&M are the other six Duff finalists.
At 6’5 and 207 pounds Duff is hybrid TE and wide receiver. Duff has 77 receptions for 1,677 yards and 17 touchdowns in the last two seasons. Seven schools received unofficial visits from Duff before he named his seven finalists. Connecticut, Maryland, Penn State and Pittsburgh hosted Duff but did not make his top seven.
Central Florida and Texas are the only two programs among the seven Duff finalists that he has not visited yet. Duff has official visits scheduled for Rutgers and North Carolina in June with more to be scheduled. Steve Wiltfong the 247 Sports Director of Football Recruiting logged a Duff crystal ball to Miami in April.
The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine projects Miami with a 78.7 percent chance for a commitment from Duff, Rutgers at 9.1 percent, North Carolina at 4.0 percent and Syracuse with a 1.7 percent chance. Wide receivers coach Kevin Beard is leading the recruitment of Duff for Miami.
Miami does not have any TEs committed to its 2024 Class. All of the TEs on the Miami football roster have eligibility remaining beyond 2023. Four-star WR Chance Robinson is the only blue-chip prospect and receiver committed to Miami for 2024. Beard has done an exceptional job in about two months as the Miami WR coach.
Miami added WRs Tyler Harrell as a transfer from Alabama and Shemar Kirk from Reedley Junior College in California over the weekend. That’s in addition to gaining the commitment from Robinson. Duff told On3 he does have a leader and order to the programs he listed but did not state what those were.
