Despite holding offers from more than 17 FBS programs, Northeast (Oakland Park, Fla.) defensive end
Bryant "B.J." Dubose verbally committed to the University of Miami on Sunday, according to the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel. Dubose, a three-year starter for the Hurricanes, has been one of the top defensive players in the state for the past two years after totaling more than 100 tackles and 23 sacks throughout both seasons.
The 6-foot-5, 237-pound standout, who was named the Sun Sentinel's Broward County Defensive Player of the Year this season, had a stellar senior year for the Hurricanes in which he totaled 60 tackles, 11 sacks and one interception, while leading them to their best season in almost 30 years. Dubose's efforts helped Northeast finish 9-4, before losing to Cypress Bay, 27-21, on the final play of the Class 6A Regional final. Dubose gives Miami its 16th overall commitment from the Class of 2011.
Dubose's size and athleticism should give him the chance to play early for the Hurricanes. He chose Miami over LSU, Iowa, Michigan, Louisville, Nebraska and West Virginia.
