Local talent was huge in the win against Georgia Tech on Saturday and looks to be core parts of the recruiting classes going forward. The Miami staff went into unfamiliar territory yesterday, offering two standout underclass from Somerset Canyons Academy.

Sophomore wide receiver Waden Charles is continuing the trend of freaky-sized playmakers on the offensive side of the ball that Miami seems to be favoring in the recruiting process.

Charles is a verified 6'3" 181-pounds who showed out on both sides of the ball over the last two seasons, but took things up a notch this season, picking up 53 receptions, 1067 yards, nine touchdowns, 66 tackles, and three interceptions.

"Miami has a solid program. They have a great coaching staff and they recruit highly-rated players. I love what they are doing over there," said Charles of his thoughts on Miami. "The thought of playing at home has been rushing through my head lately. I would love to put on and play in front of my home crowd. That is definitely something I wouldn't mind doing."

Charles now holds four offers from Arkansas State, Florida A&M, Miami, and Toledo and is certainly on track to be at least a four-star talent.

Charles counterpart is freshman Denairius Gray, who actually picked up his second Power Five offer via Miami.

Gray does not have the massive frame Charles does, but he was equally as productive and pops on film with special ball skills, an advanced release game, and a knack for finding the endzone, something he did 14 times this season. His game is different for a first-year varsity player and is a huge reason Miami and Pittsburgh have jumped on so early.

Gray models his game after Ohio State standout Marvin Harrison Jr. who is taking the country by storm this season and it is easy to see the body control and ball skills that are vastly similar between the two. The 6'1" 162-pound receiver also talked about the love of playing at home being a factor in his love for Miami, which he called one of his dream schools.

The future blue-chip prospect finished this season with 56 receptions, 752 yards, and 14 scores. The freshman has a long process, but was high on the hometown school, "I love the program and I would love to play in South Florida. It's home!"
