Miami Hurricane recruit schedule: Week 12

If three-time defending state champion Miami Northwestern is in your school’s classification, there’s a good chance your road to the state championship will feature a game with the Bulls.

Tonight’s high school football schedule will feature the No.1 team in Florida’s Class 5A (Northwestern) travelling to play the No.3 team in Class 5A (Plantation-American Heritage) in a Class 5A-Region 4 quarterfinal game tonight at 7:30pm.

You often see this caliber of teams playing in a region final, state semifinal, or even state championship game, but the COVID-19 pandemic changed how the Florida High School Athletic Association assembled the playoff brackets in 2020.

American Heritage is led by 2021 Miami verbal commitment James Williams, a consensus five-star recruit. Northwestern features three Hurricane verbal commitments in 2021 wide receiver Romello Brinson, 2021 safety Kamren Kinchens and 2021 tight end Kahlil Brantley.

In total, the game should feature well over ten total Division I prospects.

Several Hurricanes who play in Florida have already seen their teams eliminated from the FHSAA playoffs. Malik Curtis and Fort Myers-Bishop Verot lost their playoff opener last week as did Melbourne High and Chase Smith.

Curtis played nine regular season games and finished with 887 total yards of offense and ten touchdowns.

Other Hurricane verbal commitments in action tonight include:
