Miami Hurricanes News: Florida OL Deryc Plazz commits to Miami
Miami Hurricanes added to its already massive offensive line haul by adding Jacksonville ( Florida ) native Deryc Plazz to the class.
Plazz sees the Hurricanes going to the next level under Mario Cristobal and his staff, and he looks forward to helping the program get on top of college football. He was recently verbally committed to the Penn State Nittany Lions but he decided to re-open his decision and chose the Hurricanes to play with Mario and coach Mirabal.
Plazz is the 977th ranked prospect, 81st OT and 132nd recruit in Florida in the 2024 class out of Jacksonville Andrew Jackson High School. The 247 Sports scouting report states that the 6-foot-5, 265-pounder started at tackle. Plazz has recorded 73 pancake blocks in the last two seasons with 47 last season.
Plazz does not shy away from physicality while blocking. However, as is the case with many high school offensive lineman, his pass blocking certainly could use some work. He has good base and runs his feet well, but will need to refine his technique and play lower in the college level. Plazz also loves to finish his blocks, this guy plays to the whistle. He has great power in run blocking, it appears that he is bigger / stronger than most of his current high school competition so I could certainly see him needing a year to adjust to the college level at Coral Gables.
The job that offensive line coach Joe Salave’a and Coach Mirabal has done with previous years such as 2023 class cannot be praised enough. They went out and found a bunch of players that fit Miami Hurricane’s style of play and will be great representatives of the Orange and Green Wall. Plazz is a raw talented player and cant wait to see him in that Orange and Green.
Plazz told Urrutia in May that he likes Miami head coach Mario Cristobal and his words the only offensive line head coach in the country. The history of the Miami football program winning national championships with other school’s ceilings having bowl wins or conference titles also atterrated Plazz to commit to the Hurricanes.
