After months of speculation as to where he would end up, it’s official, former Southwest Miami High School cornerback Lamarcus Joyner will be a St. Thomas Aquinas Raider Wednesday morning. The standout defensive back, arguably the best in Dade County at the position attempted to transfer to Columbus High School in recent weeks but the transfer fell through. Now, Joyner will join Cody Riggs at St. Thomas to give the Raiders perhaps the best secondary in the nation. Aquinas just completed one of the best seasons in South Florida history going undefeated and beating all opponents by double digits. Finding room to throw against this team has just become near impossible. Both players clocked sub 4.5 forty’s on Sunday at the Under Armour Junior Combine at the Miami Dolphins training facility. This should be fun to watch.
