As Miami continues to build its 2026 class, a major focus has been on the interior with the offensive line. And with five offensive lineman already committed, the staff looks to close out the position with one or two more in the class. One of those targets is IMG’s Breck Kolojay, who @DMoney and I were able to catch up with after his visit. I expect this to be a Miami/Georgia battle that will draw out for a while, and here's what he had to say after his visit:
Overall feeling after the visit:
“It was fantastic. I just got to spend a lot of time with the players, so that's really huge for me. I'm just experiencing the culture, feeling like a player you know, 'cause ultimately that would decide if I fit in. Just having a connection with the guys is huge for me, and I just got to feel that in this official visit.”
On where Miami sits in his recruitment:
“Miami is definitely contending. So my commitment might be sooner than later just according to how everything is panning out. Kind of want to get this thing over with soon. After all my OV’s, I'm gonna commit.”
“[I felt like] a massive priority. You know, they have guys committed, that doesn't phase them, and that doesn't phase me at all. I'll still be their guy, no matter what. So, just kind of building a relationship with the class that's already committed and seeing where this thing goes.”
“I got to take my OV to Georgia, see everything and Tennessee as well. Yeah, that's the plan, and then kind of put everything together, pray on it, talk to my family about it, and just see.”
On which Miami commits were trying to recruit him:
”Yeah, I was with Jackson [Cantwell] and his family the whole, like, almost the whole visit. Great family. But he's like ‘Dude, why not just come here? Like, just shut it down?’, and I'm like, my recruitment for us is a little different than yours, and I got to kind of make it the right decision for me and my family, so, it may take a little longer.”
“[Jackson’s] an awesome kid, awesome guy. Dude's the smartest kid I've probably ever talked to, and you know, he's respectful and a great family. So just getting to know him was really cool, I've known him a little from past visits, but especially now I mean, we could be really special here.”
“Me and him, blocking three techniques is gonna be dangerous.
On his family’s influence in his recruitment:
“Yeah, I mean it's really important because family is everything for me, especially my sister, because she has a lot of influence on me, because she's my older sister, and I've always listened to her.”
“My family loved the whole visit, and they love everything about this place, so you know, it's not like I'm making a decision on just behalf of myself, also on my family.”
