LAS CRUCES, N.M. - One of Florida's finest is coming to New Mexico.
The Aggies inked Jeremiah Dervil on Friday, signing a 16th standout to their 2021 recruiting class. NM State initially signed 15 on Wednesday, the first day of the early national signing day period.
Dervil attended Lely HS in Naples, Fla., where he played for head coach JJ Everage. Used as an all-around athlete, he lined up on both sides of the ball during his high school career.
The Naples native passed for 1,039 yards and 11 touchdowns in nine games as a senior during the 2020 campaign. He also rushed for 302 yards and six touchdowns on 58 carries (5.2 avg.) as well as caught four passes for 55 yards and a touchdown.
On the defensive side of the ball, Dervil totaled 27 tackles (16 solo) and grabbed four interceptions as a senior. He also logged three pass breakups, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and a blocked punt.
Dervil chose NM State over offers from Coastal Carolina, Iowa State, Toledo, Tulane, USF and Virginia.
