In this story: Miami (FL) Hurricanes Mario Cristobal and Nick Saban will face four-star running back Kevin Riley.
Riley, a standout from Tuscaloosa County HS, just down the street from Alabama’s campus, just completed an official weekend visit to the Crimson Tide. Riley has been verbally committed to Miami since June 19, but he is now expected to move to Bama.
After his weekend visit to Alabama, Riley told Cane Sport On3:“Both schools are wonderful schools,” Riley said. “And when I made my final decision, I really told myself to go wherever my heart feels best, that will be the right place for me. Just do what my heart tells me.
Today and tomorrow will be big days of reflection for me because I will make my decision quite early since I will sign on Wednesday.Donno’s opinion:Miami is not giving up here.
They will continue to fight for Riley’s signature until tomorrow. Riley will announce her decision to her high school on Wednesday around 2 p.m. ET.
Fortunately, the Hurricanes have positioned themselves well here, even if Riley moves on to the Crimson Tide.
The Hurricanes defeated fellow 4-star running back Jordan Lyle of Ohio State on Monday.
Lyle and Riley are pretty similar players and both excellent. The Hurricanes also have a verbal commitment from South Broward star running back Chris Wheatley-Humphrey.
The returning backfield includes Mark Fletcher Jr., Ajay Allen, Henry Parrish Jr., Chris Johnson Jr. and Trevonte’ Citizen. Keeping Riley in the class would be a luxury. All Hurricanes.com is your home for all things Miami Hurricanes football, recruiting, basketball and other athletics topics.
