Vaughn Telemaque commits to Miami
Losing that Patrick Johnson commitment was tough on Randy Shannon and the gang. After all, we’re talking about the highest rated defensive back in the entire country. But after a little soul searching, maybe a little comfort food, ole Shannon is back in the saddle again.
In other words, he and the Canes just picked up a commitment from a highly sought after safety from California by the name of. . . Well, just keep reading.
Vaughn Telemaque, a 6-foot-2, 180 pound four star safety from Long Beach, California (Poly High School) has verbally committed to play for the Miami of Florida Hurricanes and head coach Randy Shannon in 2008. Telemaque runs the 40 yard dash in 4.53 seconds and possesses a 34 inch vertical leap; so he certainly has some athleticism. But it’s his production that has people most stoked.
We’re talking about 52 tackles and two interceptions in his junior year, and a whopping 89 tackles and nine interceptions during his senior season.
Thus, Vaughn Telemaque is considered the 12th best safety in the 2008 class by Rivals. He’s also considered the 23rd best prospect coming out of the state of California, and the safety with the second best ball and cover skills.
So they sure did get themselves a good one.
Telemaque took a while to commit to the Canes but he’s solid. The teams he chose them over? How about the Michigan Wolverines, North Carolina Tar Heels, Oregon Ducks, Southern California Trojans, and Texas Longhorns?
Count on Vaughn Telemaque being a good one. And the way that the 2007 Miami of Florida Hurricanes played, they sure do need a good one. Actually, that’s untrue.
They need a great one. So here’s to hoping.
