Miami lands another 2026 OL Prospect in Rhys Woodrow

The Hurricanes continue to build their 2026 O-Line class, adding Rhys Woodrow out of Orlando, Florida.

A 6'3, 310 pound guard/center, Miami beat out the likes of FSU, Florida, UCF and Georgia Tech for the Orlando product.

Hailing from Boone High School, Woodrow mainly works on the interior of the O-Line with some edge in his game. He moves fluidly in pass pro, especially when it comes to getting in space for the screen game. He can pull with effectiveness and get into the second level on a consistent basis.

That footwork can be connected to his two-sport background, lettering in baseball as a first baseman.

This recruitment was one that accelerated rapidly over the last few weeks from both the player and program side.

For the staff, they were extremely impressed by his spring performances, especially his high motor and agressiveness. And for Woodrow he was really excited by the class of offensive lineman Miami is building, impressed by the identity of the class.

Woodrow becomes the eleventh player in Miami's 2026 class, joining Jackson Cantwell, Ben Congdon, Joel Ervin and JJ Sparks in the O-Line room which will continue to grow with this historic O-Line class.

Remember, there’s no walk ons anymore. There will be more takes like this.

While this is true in general, I wouldn’t put Woodrow in this bucket. He had OVs lined up to Louisville and FSU.

2 under the radar centers with him and sparks?

I'm sure at least one if not both can/will play guard as well.

First identified in The Bank back in March. This is not a new name.

Oh for sure, but are you a bit surprised they took him after also taking Sparks? Seems like you were mentioning more Pickett and Kolojay recently right?

I don't mind this at all, I like his tape…Actually better than Sparks because he seems to have more bend and plays lower. If I had to call it, he's the center and Sparks the big road grader guard, but I'm sure Mirabal/CMC will figure that all out.

Seems like a long term developmental player.

I don't know…I think he actually looks fairly far along. Powerful dude.

I love the physicality of the OL recruits and portal-ins this year.

Miami is placing a lot of value on spring evals this year. Woodrow is a former baseball player who impressed in person.

I don’t this impacts the recruitments of Breck Kolojay and Canon Pickett.

If that’s the case I’ll let it slide. The other two are big targets
