Miami Hurricanes News: Top 5 for 2024 DL, training camp review
The Miami Hurricanes football team was named in the top five for four-star defensive lineman T.J. Lindsay ahead of his August 12 commitment date. Alabama, Auburn, Texas and Texas A&M are the other programs in Lindsay’s top five. David Lake of Inside the U wrote about “Five takeaways from the first week of fall camp.”
Auburn has an 84.3 percent chance for a commitment from Lindsay according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. There are two 247 Sports crystal balls projecting Lindsay to Auburn and one to Texas A&M. The most recent crystal ball from 247 Sports Director of Football Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is to Auburn.
The five takeaways from Lake were that Miami will have an aggressive approach on defense, the offense has more offensive skill position options, cornerback has been revamped since the spring, freshmen are adjusting well to college and the body types on the 2023 Miami Hurricanes football roster are bigger.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported on Monday that the Miami-Notre Dame game scheduled for 2024 has been pushed back to 2025. Miami has a scheduling conflict with five non-conference games scheduled for 2024. Miami will host Notre Dame in 2025 and play in South Bend in 2026.
This solves a UM scheduling conundrum that had emerged in 2024. Miami had 5 non-conference games booked in 2024 and could play only 4, of course: at Gators, Florida A&M, Ball State and at USF. Now they don't need to play both UF and Notre Dame on the road in 2024. Only UF in 2024 https://t.co/hdc9OlZAaj
