Pretty stunning news here. Had said #WVU was his leader even after Miami visit three days ago. https://t.co/wbaK7ir1sp

That's what I'm talking about it! We're Feeding The Fire from NJ all the way down to South Beach! That #TEU tradition is alive! []_[]
Haskins, a HS Quarterback who projects best at WR or TE at the collegiate level, is a nice pick up for Miami. This is a big step in adding size to the receiving corps, which has many players on the roster and commits who are 6'0" or under.
Whether on the outside or in the slot, Haskins has the size and physical ability to be an impact player for the Canes in coming years. He will obviously need to develop skills as a receiver or tight end, but many have made this transition from quarterback successfully.
Haskins joins Sam Bruce, Dionte Mullins, Latrell Williams, and Michael Irvin II as WR/TE commits in this class. He chose Miami over West Virginia and Virginia Tech.
Highlights are below (but remember, we're not taking him at QB. Look at the size/movement skills, not the position he's playing):
