When it comes to offensive linemen, Mario Cristobal is always looking for the best and next week the Hurricanes will get a visit from 5-star offensive tackle Oluwasemilore Olubobola.

The Hurricanes are the heavy favorite to receive a pledge from 5-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews, who plays high school ball up the road at St. Thomas Aquinas. And now Olubobola is ready to see the monster that is being built in Coral Gables.

Now they will get a shot to get into Olubobola's top five,
