Miami is making significant efforts to retain one of South Florida’s most promising football talents. Cortez Mills, ranked 77th nationally by Rivals, has showcased his abilities with a remarkable “1550+ Yard Season” as a junior. His performance at the Under Armour Miami camp has further solidified his status as a highly sought-after recruit.
Mills, hailing from Homestead (Fla.) High School, has garnered attention from top-tier programs including Miami, Florida State, Florida, UCF, and others. Despite considering various offers, Mills has revealed a preference for Miami, citing its proximity and the dedicated recruitment efforts of the coaching staff, particularly Mario Cristobal and assistant coaches like Kevin Beard and David Cooney.
While Mills has scheduled official visits to other universities, including Clemson, Florida, and Nebraska, he acknowledges Miami’s strong position on his list. To sway him from choosing the Hurricanes, rival programs must intensify their recruitment efforts and demonstrate a commitment level exceeding that of Miami’s.
Mills aims to make his college decision after completing his official visits, with a tentative timeline set for the end of summer, prior to the commencement of the football season.
