Coach\u2019s Take: Why Miami LB commit Cam Pruitt may be closer to college game-ready than otherwise thought<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Miami<\/a><\/strong> head coach Mario Cristobal<\/a><\/strong> has made it well-known he intends to recruit aggressive, physical prospects to Coral Gables, but so far in the 2024 recruiting cycle, linebacker Cam Pruitt<\/a><\/strong> may be the most pad-cracking prospect to commit to the Hurricanes<\/a><\/strong> yet.<\/p>\n

The Canes have already landed<\/a><\/strong> a few hard-hitting recruits in the cycle like Miami (Fla.) Central linebacker Vincent Shavers<\/a><\/strong> and Baton Rouge (La.) Southern University Lab School safety Dylan Day<\/a><\/strong>, but Pruitt could be the most contact-loving prospect to commit to announce his intention to play in Coral Gables. <\/p>\n

It becomes immediately apparent why the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Pruitt\u2019s On3 Industry Grade has him just one point shy of being a four-star prospect and the potential he\u2019ll have at the college level. <\/p>\n

Pruitt was a do-it-all player at Theodore (Al.) High School last season, being moved across the field to come off the edge as a pass rusher, play in the box as a linebacker against the run and cover slot receivers as a defensive back. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to find a prospect who loves contact more than Pruitt or who would sacrifice himself more frequently than the No. 39 linebacker in the class to make a play, whether that\u2019s as a pass rusher, a run stopper or being forced to stop a ball carrier in the open field. <\/p>\n

But perhaps most impressively, Pruitt operates under control with discipline and understanding of what can and can\u2019t happen in different situations.<\/p>\n

He is also the On3 Industry Ranking\u2019s No. 404 overall prospect in the 2024 class.<\/p>\n

As a linebacker, he\u2019s proved smart enough against the run to understand gap assignments and how to maintain leverage against offensive linemen while still flowing to the ball with good angles, an underrated trait among high school linebackers. <\/p>\n

Off the edge last season, Pruitt was tremendous about finding ways to pressure the quarterback while containing the corners on outside runs and scrambles. And as a defensive back, he proved more than capable of covering receivers in the slot, although it wasn\u2019t his greatest strength.<\/p>\n

Miami hopes to use him as a Swiss Army Knife coming off the edge, filling in at Will and possibly being used at the Star position in defensive coordinator Lance Guidry\u2019s scheme, and the staff understands the myriad of possibilities for Pruitt\u2019s use. <\/p>\n

His discipline also suggests he may not be too far removed from getting on the field if he continues to add weight and strength, which he almost certainly will after an offseason in Coral Gables.<\/p>\n
