Hurricanes land Avantae Williams, two other recruits on National Signing Day

The Miami football program entered National Signing Day looking to add to the strong 2020 recruiting class, and they did just that, landing four-star Avantae Williams, the No. 2 ranked safety in the class of 2020.

Williams was expected to sign with Florida, but the strong bond between the Miami coaches and Williams helped him switch to Miami.

“It’s a massive exclamation point, I think we’ve known Avantae since the summer coming out of eighth grade, this is a four year relationship,” head coach Manny Diaz said. “He was committed to us at one point, went all kinds of different ways, we never gave up on him.
