Hearing that Miami is in position to lock in Columbus defensive lineman Daylen Russell. This has been a Louisville/Canes battle, especially since he visited Louisville during the season with teammate and Cardinals commit TJ Capers.
Miami has been hot on Russell's trail since last season where he had a breakout campaign and was considered by many as the best player on that Columbus defense that was loaded with D1 prospects.
He would come to Miami as a three-technique defensive tackle with the pass rush ability to jump out to a 4i DT/DE - similar to a Rueben Bain/Joshua Horton type player.
I would advise fans to omit the rankings/stars for Russell, who has the potential to be one of the better defensive linemen to come out of South Florida in this cycle. A rise to a four-star ranking is not out of the question with a senior campaign that mirrors his 2022 season.
Hearing this is likely to happen as soon as this weekend.
