20 For 20, Part 1: An early look at the top players in the 2020 class Leonard Manuel (5 star) Nick Lucero/Rivals.com “Manuel has been a mainstay on the recruiting circuit for more than a year. He’s every bit of 6-foot-5 and comes with the type of athleticism that is rare in prospects of his size. He has spent his early high school career besting much older FBS-bound defensive backs. He’s now ready to take center stage on the national radar as a junior.” – Rivals.com Florida Recruiting Analyst Rob Cassidy |

 11/12/17 While waiting for more good news from its big weekend, Miami added a piece to its future. One of the top-rated underclassmen in the nation, wide receiver Leonard Manuel, said he will play for the Hurricanes. 247Sports rates Manuel, listed at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, as the sixth-best player in the 2020 class, the second-best wide receiver and the best overall prospect in the state. Manuel will be a sophomore at Ocala-Vanguard High, the same program that produced Hurricanes freshman quarterback N’Kosi Perry. UM also has a 2020 commitment from athlete Avantae Williams, whom 247 rates 13th overall in that class. Miami’s 2019 class is rated fifth nationally and the 2018 group is rated fourth.

 3/20/17 Leonard Manuel earned the wide receiver MVP award Recruiting wrap: Just a rising sophomore, Manuel already has offers from Florida, Miami and several others. Performance: The 6-foot-5 wide receiver is still technically a freshman in high school, but you wouldn’t have known it with the way he performed. He was a match-up nightmare for defensive backs all day and while he had a few hiccups that come with his age, it’s clear he’s well on his way to being a special talent. Manuel earned the wide receiver MVP award for his efforts. |
