The 4-star prospect who committed to Alabama in October did not sign his letter of intent on Wednesday. He is one of the top players in the class of 2022.
Skinner is the third-best tight end in the country according to the rankings.
Skinner has a good size for the position with the type of speed that could make him a mismatch at the higher levels.
It could be a significant addition for the Hurricanes, who finished with a mediocre record.
This is a good building block for Cristobal, who was hired as the head coach earlier this month to replace Manny Diaz.
Skinner will be the ninth player in the class of 2022, but eight of them are 4-star recruits. The average recruit rating for Miami is fifth best in the country.
The program is looking to return to contention in the conference.
