The 6-foot-4, 235-pound defensive end from
Alonso (Tampa, Fla.) announced his intention to play for the Hurricanes this afternoon.
Chickillo saw his stock sore after a strong performance at the U.S. Army National Combine, where he displayed his outstanding pass rushing ability.
His choice to play at Miami means that he’ll become a third-generation Hurricane, as both his father and grandfather played at Miami.
Despite missing five games in 2009 due to a collarbone injury, Chickillo was still able to compile 12.5 sacks.
He kicked off the 2010 season on a high note, recording eight tackles, four deflected passes and one interception in a preseason game against
Freedom (Tampa, Fla.).
Chickillo joins a recruiting class that already features quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater, receiver
Phillip Dorsett and defensive back
Albert Louis-Jean.
