Miami QB Commit Dereon Coleman Shuts Down Recruitment
Miami’s commitment class just received more good news with four-star quarterback Dereon Coleman officially confirming that he has shut down his recruitment. Coleman, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound dual-threat quarterback out of Daytona Beach, Florida, has been a key piece in Miami’s 2025 recruiting class. After receiving attention from top-tier programs across the country, Coleman made the decision to reaffirm his commitment to the Hurricanes, signaling that he is all-in on his future at Coral Gables.
Coleman’s decision to shut down his recruitment comes at a time when the high school football season is entering its final stretch, and numerous schools were still pursuing him. As one of the most highly regarded quarterbacks in the country, Coleman’s recruitment had sparked significant interest from top programs. However, the Miami commit has made it clear that his focus is solely on the Hurricanes.
“I’m done with my recruitment,” Coleman shared in a recent interview. “Miami is the place I want to be, and I’m excited to be a part of something special there. I believe in Coach [Mario] Cristobal’s vision and the direction the program is headed. I know that this is the right place for me to develop and help bring championships to Miami.”
Coleman is widely regarded for his arm strength, ability to read defenses, and playmaking ability on the run. His dual-threat capability gives him an edge in today’s modern football landscape, where versatility is key. He’s been praised for his poise in the pocket, making quick decisions while under pressure, and his ability to create plays with his legs when the situation calls for it. His natural ability to improvise in high-pressure situations has drawn comparisons to some of the top quarterbacks in the country.
The addition of Coleman to Miami’s recruiting class is a major win for Coach Cristobal and his staff. The Hurricanes have made a strong push to restore their elite status in college football, and securing a top-tier quarterback like Coleman further solidifies their efforts. With his commitment locked in, Coleman will now focus on preparing for his senior season at Mainland High School, where he looks to build on his impressive track record.
Miami fans can now rest easy knowing that their quarterback of the future is locked in. As one of the top prospects in the state of Florida, Coleman’s commitment could be a game-changer for the Hurricanes in years to come.
