2019 Mount Dora Christian DE/OLB Jesiah Pierre just committed to Miami. Canes offered this week. Small school, excellent find for the staff

Just a rising sophomore, Pierre is already 6'3" 210lbs. He is an early take because of his advance physicality and athleticism. Pierre obviously loves Miami; there's a story that both he and his mother burst into tears when he received his offer.
Obviously, with some 2 1/2+ years until his signing day, there's a long time before Pierre will officially become a Hurricane. But that doesn't mean Canes fans shouldn't be excited about this commitment. Pierre should very well be a top 10 player in Florida by his senior year. Pierre is the first 2019 commit for the Hurricanes.
You can see what kind of player Pierre is in the HUDL highlights below:
