Class of 2024 LB Vincent Shavers commits to Miami

Class of 2024 linebacker Vincent Shavers of Miami Gardens (FL) Central High announced his commitment to Miami Friday night. 

The 6-foot-1, 200 pounder chose the Hurricanes over Rutgers and Maryland.

Multiple factors weighed into his decision to ultimately choose the Hurricanes, however, his relationship with his position coach stood out.

“The coaches, specifically the new defensive coordinator and the linebacker coach,” Shavers said. “I am close with coach DNic (Derek Nicholson). We have a really good bond and he was saying he sees a bright future with me, and that I will be a great man with him.

The Sunshine State linebacker joins coach Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes’ top 30 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by four-star wide receiver Chance Robinson, three-star safety Isaiah Thomas, and others.

He was primarily recruited by Charlie Strong, the co-defensive coordinator for Miami. 

Shavers ranks as the No. 666 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 74 linebacker and the No. 92 player in the state of Florida.

He currently does not have an On3 NIL Valuation listed. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
