2028 OL Kweli Fielder and 2029 QB CJ Cypher commit to Miami

The Hurricanes have made a serious splash to kickstart their next two recruiting cycles, landing the dynamic Carrollton duo of OL Kweli Fielder and QB CJ Cypher.



A 6-foot-2, 190- pound signal caller with advanced instincts at the position, Cypher checks all the boxes for a star quarterback at the next level.

The freshman phenom led his side to the state title game with a 14-1 record in an ultra-competitive Georgia field ---- and racked up 26 touchdowns to four interceptions last season, but especially shined in person this summer.

Cypher visited the Hurricanes three times this year including a Legends camp performance where he threw alongside Miami's 2028 QB commit Knox Annis, and impressed with his ability.

He demonstrates plus arm-strength at this stage as well as the ability to layer his passes when needed, and is regarded as the top quarterback in the 2029 class.

"The way [Miami] develops quarterbacks, competes at the highest level and brings in the best players in the country stood out to me," Cypher said.

With buzz around a possibility of a reclass, Cypher told CanesInSight that the timeline of that decision is still up in the air.

And while Cypher's commitment marks the first for UM's 2029 class, his announcement was joined by his teammate and cousin Fielder who've played together their whole lives.



A 6-foot-4, 310-pounder who also shined in drills at Legends Camp with his strength, Fielder is one of the top offensive lineman in the 2028 class.

He can shine at multiple positions on the line, where he physically imposes his will at the point of attack and gets upfield.

Coach Mirabal in particular spent plenty of time working with him at camp this summer, helping him adjust his leverage which will continue to develop at a high level.

"Miami felt like home since going down twice in June," Fielder said. "Miami gives me the best opportunity to develop as a player and a person."

Fielder becomes Miami's second commit in the 2028 class.
