Just a few months before Miami landed a commitment from 2020 Florida Gatorade Player of the Year and Safety, James Williams, Miami signed another blue chip Safety in February 2020 in Avantae Williams.
Avantae was not only the top recruit in Miami’s 2020 class, but was one of the most laudable recruits for the program in some time. At the time, Avantae “Tae” Williams was regarded as the fifth highest ranked Defensive Back to commit to Miami since 2000. Avantae also became Miami’s highest ranked defender to sign with the Hurricanes since five-star defensive lineman, Chad Thomas, joined the program in 2014.
