After a bit of a lull for Miami in terms of commitments, the RedHawks made some big waves Thursday with the commitment of Jackson Williamson, a three-star quarterback out of Westside High School in South Carolina according to 247Sports. Williamson chose Miami over offers from Georgia State, Troy, and Western Carolina.
Williamson becomes the ninth 2017 commit for Miami as well as the fifth three-star prospect to choose the RedHawks, joining Peter Nank, Chris Glaser, Mitchell Burton, and Adam Mehelic. Miami's recruiting class is now fourth in the MAC per 247Sports' composite team rankings with a long way to go until signing day.
