Two big public versus private school high school football games in South Florida highlight the schedule for Miami Hurricane verbal commitments and targets in week four.

Miami Columbus will host Miami Booker T. Washington tonight at 6pm in Dade County while Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna will host Miami Carol City at 7pm in Broward County.

Both games will be played at their respective private school host stadiums.

Columbus features Miami 2020 defensive line verbal commitment Elijah Roberts while Chaminade-Madonna features three Hurricane verbals in 2020 defensive lineman Willie Moise, 2021 running back Thad Franklin and 2021 kicker Andres Borregales.

While Booker T. Washington and Carol City have been feeder schools for the Hurricanes in the past, Miami currently has no verbal commitments playing for either school. Each program does have at least one player the Hurricanes are keeping tabs on however in Carol City’s 2020 wide receiver Thaiu Jones-Bell (verbally committed to Alabama) and Booker T’s 2021 wide receiver Jacorey Brooks, a 4-star prospect according to 247Sports.com.
