Can Mario Cristobal land pledges from his Miami alma mater?

South Florida’s high schools have long served as factories for National Football League fame and now Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal has his eye on a trio of players from his school, Miami Columbus High School, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Remember these names: TJ Capers, Daylen Russell and Dylan Stephenson. All three members of the Explorers defensive line hold offers from the University of Miami. But there’s waiting involved – the juniors can’t sign with a school until a year from now. Other schools have also made offers, the paper reported.

Cristobal graduated from the Roman Catholic high school in 1988.
