College football: West Boca running back Javian Mallory commits to University of Miami

West Boca running back Javian Mallory has decided on his home at the next level.

The four-star back, a highly-touted prospect since taking Palm Beach County by storm, will be playing for the Miami Hurricanes.

He chose Miami amid a bevy of Division I offers, including Florida, Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, and others.

Mallory is coming off of a season in which he rushed for 676 yards in just seven games played due to a nagging hamstring injury that limited his time on the field.

But when he was on it, he was explosive, rushing for 10.1 yards per carry and ten scores.

In his breakout sophomore campaign, the Bulls star pounded the rock for 1,415 yards and 18 touchdowns, showcasing speed and power as West Boca’s all-purpose back.

He was named to The Palm Beach Post’s First team All-County squad that season, and has continued to garner national attention as time has gone on.

Mallory is considered the No. 24 running back in the country and joined Miami’s Class of 2026, which now includes six commitments.
