One other flip try for a blue chip participant has passed by the wayside as Vero Seaside (FL) 4-star LB Tarvos “TJ” Alford sticks together with his dedication to Ohio State over Miami.
LB Tarvos Alford sticks together with his dedication to Ohio State. #Canes cannot pull off the flip.

An athletic 6’2” 210lb linebacker, Alford has the dimensions and sideline to sideline athleticism Miami desperately wants to assist enhance the protection. However, that dimension and athleticism is heading to Ohio State and never Miami.
Miami was the runner-up for Alford when he made his preliminary dedication again in March. The Canes continued to recruit the blue chip defender via the 2024 HSFB season, and at instances seemed like they’d the within monitor to flipping his dedication. Miami has gone face to face towards Ohio State to flip a number of gamers over the previous few years, and Alford was a chief goal for this 12 months. However, as you already know, these efforts had been unsuccessful, and Alford will likely be taking his abilities to the Buckeyes.
This continues a horrible run of efficiency for Miami, on the sector, within the rankings, and on this planet of recruiting. And, with gifted gamers like Alford (and others) selecting to go elsewhere, Miami has a metric ton of labor to do to vary the issues which can be nowhere close to the place we want them to be.
Extra to come back on Miami recruiting via the Early Signing Interval and Nationwide Signing Day in February.
