Florida State has remained Miami (Fla.) Central 2024 four-star receiver Lawayne McCoy\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> top school since he committed to the Seminoles April 13, but Miami<\/a><\/strong> has more than held its ground for the top-250 prospect.<\/p>\n

McCoy continue to work to flip the 6-foot, 170-pound receiver, who says he\u2019ll visit for an upcoming game. He also says Miami\u2019s staff has recruited McCoy the hardest of the remaining schools attempting to pull him away from Tallahassee, which includes Penn State, Oregon, UCF, Louisville, West Virginia<\/a><\/strong> and several other programs. Miami is still hoping to bring him to Coral Gables for an in-season official visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like coach (Mario) Cristobal, he knows what he\u2019s doing,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cHe knows that winning mentality, and I feel like he knows how to bring it back to Miami. I feel like they\u2019re going to do great and put up some good numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCoy plans to attend this year\u2019s Miami-Florida State game in Tallahassee as a Seminoles recruit, and ilke many recruits, he wants to see if Miami can take a substantial step forward on the field this season overall off a 5-7 campaign last year where the offense struggled mightily.<\/p>\n

He feels expectations for Miami should be high and that Miami will ultimately win \u201cabout eight or nine\u201d games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d say it\u2019s really just to dominate every game and show that Miami is back,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cThat Miami is going to be a winning team this year and go out and dominate.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, McCoy has remained impressed by Florida State and loved what he saw on his game visit for the Seminoles\u2019 season opener against LSU, which the Noles won 45-24. Watching FSU\u2019s offense shine in the national spotlight encouraged McCoy and reminded him why he committed to the Seminoles in April over more than a dozen other programs. So it\u2019s an uphill battle right now \u2026 but Miami is intent on keeping top Miami Central talent home.<\/p>\n

CaneSport\u2019s Take<\/strong><\/p>\n

FSU remains the undisputed leader for McCoy, but don\u2019t be stunned if Miami makes things interesting by cobbling together some signature wins this fall. A few major victories in nationally-televised games, plus increased fan interest and community buy-in to this year\u2019s team, could make things tighter down the stretch, although FSU will be hard to beat. Miami\u2019s game against Florida State in Tallahassee could be a game to watch in this recruitment.<\/p>\n
