Over the last couple of weeks, Miami has been on the receiving end of some personnel help. Monday, the personnel tables were turned a bit (again).
The U has confirmed that it has granted Jason Muñoz a release from his National Letter of Intent. The 2019 prospect had just signed with the Hurricanes last month, but the coaching change -- Mark Richt retiring, replaced by defensive coordinator Manny Diaz -- led the university to release the defensive lineman from the commitment.
Not long after, Muñoz took to Twitter to announce that he has committed to Syracuse and will (presumably) play his college football for the Orange.
I had an amazing visit this weekend and I’m excited to say I’m committed to Syracuse University. Happy to be apart of the Cuse family #blessed 🍊🍊🍊 pic.twitter.com/P81q4FfSk6

Because Muñoz didn’t attend classes at Miami, he’ll be eligible to play immediately for the Orange in 2019.
Muñoz was a three-star recruit on 247Sports.com‘s composite board. That same recruiting website had him as the No. 58 strongside defensive end in the country.
