Miami has landed a commitment in the 2027 class from 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive lineman Zaquan Linton, a three-star prospect.

Christian Proscia of EraPrep on Twitter was the first to report the news of the three-star prospect:

I had a chance to speak with Linton after his commitment to the Hurricanes, and here is what he said:

“Knowing I was gonna play at a legendary staff and great school,” Linton said about the Hurricanes' staff. “Miami has produced some of the best linemen, and that’s where I need to be.”

It very well could be because Hawks was just added to the roster. I know Jatori and Matthews were the final 2 pieces they were shooting for. If they get them. We will see if that changes now.

Did Tyler Ford take his spot?

After watching his film, I'm sure Linton figured it was safer to give Tyler the spot.

On today's podcast, D$ said the Ford commit was the precursor to this decommit

Me talking now, so clearly to two are related.

Took his commitment before the season started. July of 2025.

Things changed with our season. We are going after a different level of prospect now.

Yep and he probably didn’t progress like they thought

If the staff is prioritizing senior film, as we've been told, this explains itself.

You are aware he's a 2027 class commit who played as a 10th grader last season correct?! Most kids with 2 yrs left of HS ball are projects. CIS strikes again!
