Whereas its signing day is over two years away, South Florida is already anticipated to supply a number of the high prospects within the 2028 recruiting cycle, and we anticipate Miami to be concerned with a number of of those recruitments.
We received the possibility to take a look at top-10 edge rusher Asher Ghioto on Thursday, and on Friday, we watched top-ranked cornerback A’Mir Sears and West Broward fall to Nook Canyon, the number-one crew from Utah.
Regardless of Sears’ squad arising quick, the sophomore defensive again performed properly. He was largely utilized as a single-high security, and he was most frequently concerned within the run sport.
Sears, at 6-foot-1 and 160 kilos, has a protracted however slim body. This didn’t cease him from being a keen and efficient tackler, nevertheless. Most impressively, he got here up with consecutive goalline stops as Nook Canyon tried to energy into the tip zone.

He’ll proceed enjoying security, in addition to elsewhere alongside West Broward’s secondary. That is all matchup-dependent, Sears tells CaneSport.
“It’s actually off what the crew that we match up with this weekend, what they’re doing, so if it’s a crew that’s run-heavy, most certainly I’ll be on the security to cease the run,” Sears mentioned. “However, aside from that, if it’s a go crew, I’ll be on the nook, security, simply being in all places.”
After his productive freshman season, Sears was named to the MaxPreps Freshman All-American Staff. He performed on each ends for West Broward, totaling 57 tackles and 4 interceptions on protection and 25 receptions for 501 yards and 5 touchdowns on offense.
As for his recruitment, Sears remains to be within the early phases, however he’s taken an early liking to Miami.
Sears wore a UM decal sticker on his helmet on Friday, and he’ll be on the Hurricanes’ season opener on August 31 towards Notre Dame.
“[Miami was] my first provide. They only actually present me love,” mentioned Sears, who’s wanting ahead to watching how Miami’s defensive backs fare towards a gifted group of Notre Dame wideouts.
Along with Miami, the colleges which can be protruding to Sears proper now are South Florida, Georgia, Nebraska and Indiana.
CaneSport’s Take
What we beloved most about Sears’ efficiency was his drive and competitiveness. The willingness and lack of hesitation he confirmed whereas tackling speaks to the way in which the gifted sophomore prospect is wired. We wouldn’t be stunned if he finally ends up turning into one of many high defensive backs to come back out of South Florida lately. Miami’s going to make an apparent play for him.
