Defensive coordinator Blake Baker secured a commitment from four-star DT Brandon Cleveland on Friday. Cleveland is the second commitment for the Class of 2022, joining DE Jamaal Jackson, and hails from the Carrollwood Day School in Tampa. He chose the Canes over Florida State.

He is currently ranked as the 13th-best DT in the nation amongst current high school juniors and 175th overall according to the 247Sports Composite.

Measuring in at 6’3”, 260 pounds, Cleveland is the perfect blend of size and speed as his coaches have lined him up on the inside and outside. He compiled 76 tackles, 18 TFL’s, and 9.5 sacks to go along with a blocked punt when he played for Seffner Christian Academy. 

It is early to project which positions are going to be a priority for Miami in the 2022 class due to the uncertainty over which players leave early for the NFL Draft but also the eligibility of early enrollees in the 2021 class should the season be pushed to spring.
