This is Mario's biggest recruiting win by far. To get a top DT of all positions out of NC to flip from Clemson considering the recent history they've had with their DL getting drafted. Big Big get!
This is the type of kid that went to Clemson and was All-ACC leading the team to an ACC ship/ playoff spot and eventually going in the first round.

Already up to 280lbs and is DESTROYING people on film.
 
Areas to improve, yes.

He is 17-3 in his last 20 regular season games.

When have we had a coach reel off 17 of 20
reg season wins?

I’d say Coker was last one to do so
One of those things we would’ve been happy with the day Mario was hired. Then you get in the trenches and it’s not good enough. Football fans are a weird lot, myself included.
 
If you’re going to be a big boy program, you need to sign at least 2 true blue chips every class. If you have the NIL $, there is no excuse. We’ve got one. Now Miami needs to add another, preferably at DT.
 
The Miami Hurricanes continue to make waves in the recruiting world, flipping four-star DT Keshawn Stancil from Clemson.



A 6-foot-4, 280-pound North Carolina native, Stancil was largely off fans' radar following his commitment to Clemson earlier this summer.

He visited Miami during the first official visit weekend (5/30-6-1) with many believing that the Hurricanes would land his commitment right then and there, myself included.

However, Clemson made a late push and sealed the deal in late June following his visit.

But the UM staff kept working hard, not satisfied with their second place finish in his recruitment, and pounced on Stancil following the Tigers poor showing this season.



He’s the 3-tech lineman defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman absolutely loves, able to just wreck the game with his high motor. Stancil gets upfield well with raw power and huge upside as he hones in his technique.

So far this season Stancil has racked up 56 tackles and four sacks, with 15 of those tackles being TFL's --- violence with his effort on the line.

Stancil becomes Miami’s 25th commit in the 2026 class, joining a defensive line room of Asharri Charles, Anthony Kennedy Jr., Tyson Bacon and Frederic Sainteus.

The Hurricanes will look to continue to build their defensive line class as they push to flip five-star Oregon commit Tank Jones and Texas A&M commit Bryce Perry-Wright alongside four-star Alabama commit Nolan Wilson.

Like Stancil, other names previously thought of as “off the table” could be back on the cards for the 'Canes with more movement to come.
