Neimann Lawrence, a standout quarterback from Liberty City, FL, has narrowed down his college choices to ten schools, a list that features some of the biggest names in college football: Miami, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Florida, Virginia Tech, and Oregon. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the recruitment process for one of the top prospects in the 2028 class.
Standing at 6'1" and weighing 205 pounds, Lawrence has already made a significant impact in high school football. His impressive stats and athletic prowess have earned him a high rating across multiple recruiting platforms.
On 247Sports, Lawrence is ranked as the No. 38 overall player and the No. 4 quarterback nationally, while also being the No. 10 recruit in Florida. Even more impressive, the 247Sports Composite places him at No. 27 nationally and the No. 3 quarterback in his class.
Over on On3/Rivals, Lawrence's industry score of 87.98 further solidifies his position as a top-tier recruit, ranking him No. 29 overall and No. 4 at the quarterback position. Miami emerges as a strong contender for Lawrence, with the On3 prediction model favoring the Hurricanes, particularly with offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson leading the recruitment efforts.
Lawrence's high school journey has been dynamic. He started at Miami Ransom Everglades, where as a freshman in 2024, he threw for 2,777 yards, 31 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
His sophomore year saw him transfer to Miami Northwestern, where he continued to shine by throwing for 1,971 yards and 32 touchdowns with just one interception, completing 131 of 185 attempts. He also showcased his versatility with 104 rushing yards and a touchdown, totaling 2,075 yards for the season.
Now, as he heads into his junior year, Lawrence will be playing for American Heritage, marking his third school in as many years.
Lawrence's connection with the Miami program is evident, having made several unofficial visits in the fall of 2025. These visits, occurring in August, September, and November, indicate a strong mutual interest between the player and the program.
While Lawrence's recruitment journey is still unfolding, Miami's presence in his top ten is a promising sign for the Hurricanes. As the process progresses, it will be intriguing to see how his list evolves and which program ultimately secures his commitment.
