Early on Monday morning, on the heels of the first Al Golden Football Camp, Recruiting Coordinator Brennan Carroll woke up Canes fans with the Bat Signal:

After doing some quick looking around the internet, and off some tips from a couple Canes fans, I found these tweets which shed some light on who the new commit is:
MY BROTHER JUST COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ON A FULL RIDE FOR FOOTBALL #TheU
— Tanner Gauthier (@TannGauthier) June 1, 2014
Venice OL Ty Gauthier @VeniceIndianFB 6-5, 305 Class of 2015 committed to attend @MiamiHurricanes @UMiamifootball #theU @htpreps

Joining the 2015 class is OL Tyler Gauthier, a 6'5" 305lb Tackle from Venice (FL) High. Gauthier was a 2nd team All-State selection as a Junior. You can see his HUDL highlights here.
With the addition of Gauthier, the Canes now have 12 players committed for the class of 2015. He's the 4th OL commit, joining Leeward Brown, Kevin Feder, and Hayden Mahoney.
Though Gauthier has seen his recruiting profile rise recently, he's still unranked/unrated by the major recruiting service. However, with this staff's track record for identifying talent, I expect that to change in the near future.
And, above all else....
