Early in his high school career, Monroe Freeling had a coach who liked to talk up the Hurricanes. Years later, Freeling is one of the top offensive linemen in the nation and is considering Miami for the next stop in his career.
“One of my former coaches from ninth grade was a big Miami fan and was always talking about ‘the U,’” Freeling told the Sun Sentinel. “Then I was offered last year. I began looking at their highly rated academics, which is important to me in choosing a school.”
Freeling, a four-star offensive tackle out of Oceanside Collegiate Academy in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, included the Hurricanes in his list of top seven teams, which he announced Saturday.
