2023 LB Kaleb Spencer flips from Oklahoma to Miami

Three-star linebacker Kaleb Spencer of Colonial Heights (VA) Life Christian Academy has flipped his commitment from Oklahoma to Miami.

The 6-foot-3, 215 pounder had been committed to the Sooners since May.

Spencer on why he flipped to Miami

“First off it’s Miami,” Spencer said. “I have always loved their program from the greats that came from the U at my position. Addae really put the foot on the gas in recruiting me. I loved everything he was offering me and it’s on the east coast. It felt like it was a better opportunity for me and my family.”

Strong relationship with coaching staff

“It’s all love and genuine, and we are all ready to work,” Spencer said. “I think me and coach Addae have the best relationship right now.”

The Virginia linebacker joins coach Cristobal and the Hurricanes’ No. 8 class in the 2023 team rankings. He is accompanied by Five-Star + CB Cormani McClain, Francis Mauigoa, and others.

Miami has now landed commitments from class of 2023 recruits on back to back days. Yesterday, five-star+ cornerback Cormani McClain of Lakeland (Fla.) announced his commitment to Miami–choosing the Canes over Florida and Alabama.

Spencer ranks as the No. 729 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 70 linebacker and the No. 18 player in the state of Virginia.
