00:00 Tyler Williams, that's a name I've consistently been hearing Miami really likes him.
00:04 Have you had a chance to scout this player?
00:06 Yes, I know Tyler well, good kid.
00:10 He's really sprouted up over the last year.
00:12 He went from roughly six foot to about six two, like 175, 180 to close to 200 pounds.
00:18 He's a totally different prospect now.
00:20 That's why his offer list includes the Alabamas of the world.
00:23 So Miami's one of the schools.
00:26 I don't know exactly what his visit list is going to be like.
00:28 He's trying to formalize all that, but they're going to be in the top three or four.
00:32 They're going to get an OB.
00:33 And maybe that's like if he takes it that first weekend, maybe that's a sign that Miami is the team
00:39 to be because when I talked to him a couple of weeks ago, like he wasn't sure exactly where he
00:44 was going by any means, but Miami was a school that came up in a conversation.
00:48 Yeah.
00:49 Okay.
00:50 So you're, you actually, you're in the Alabama area now.
00:52 Now you, you travel a lot around the Southeast, but that this is near your home base.
00:57 I know you've been out to enterprise high school quite a bit.
01:00 Miami's got three players from enterprise in Bama visiting.
01:03 We know Miami has been doing well with recruits out of that state recently.
01:06 The edge rusher Zion Grady, who I think is one of the real headliners there.
01:11 Four star players, six foot four to 35 linebacker, Eric winter, six foot two, 200.
01:18 And Andrew Purcell, who's listed as an athlete, five, nine, one 85.
01:24 Is he a DB Brian?
01:25 Now, what can you tell me about those three?
01:27 Purcell is the one that most people don't know as much about.
01:30 He's a corner five, 10 ish, something like that.
01:33 He's really athletic kind of blossoms late last year.
01:37 And the head coach there is trying to push him on some kids or on some schools.
01:41 And they're being receptive.
01:43 I know Auburn's interested, et cetera.
01:45 Miami obviously is too, if they're bringing them in for a visit, but the other two kids
01:49 are, are no doubters winners.
01:51 It's kind of a hybrid safety linebacker kid.
01:53 And then Grady's an edge guy that everybody's recruiting.
01:56 So I'm curious to see if Miami would take Purcell right now, like on the first visit.
02:01 It's one thing to bring them in for visits, another, except a commitment.
02:04 And I don't know Purcell personally, but he's a really athletic kid.
02:07 His film doesn't lie.
02:08 He's just not the biggest guy.
02:10 So what does Miami want to do with their cornerback board and how do they want to
02:14 move forward if he wanted to commit?
02:16 That's something I'm curious about.
