Little does not yet hold a 247Sports Composite rating, but is coveted by several major programs. The 6-foot, 165-pound sophomore at American Heritage High School has garnered offers from Alabama, LSU, Miami, Michigan and others.
The Miami Hurricanes may have a slight advantage in that Little is a Miami legacy. His father Earl Little Sr. played for the Hurricanes before enjoying a successful NFL career as a defensive back.
Jeremy Pruitt’s reputation as a defensive backs guru often gives him a leg up on recruiting corners and safeties, it could help in securing Little although his recruitment is still in the early stages.
