Corey Hetherman has his linebacker for the 2027 class, securing the commitment of four-star AJ Randle.

A 6-foot-3, 215-pound overhang linebacker from Garner, N.C., Randle brings immense athletic upside.

He’s a modern linebacker in the do-it-all type mold, always with a nose for the ball anywhere on the field.

Randle does this with elite speed at the position, with a legit track background as the state champion in the 300m hurdles. Moreover, the North Carolina native comes from a track family as his mother was a five time All-American at Clemson.

For his high school side, Randle played on both sides of the ball, ranging from quarterback and receiver to linebacker, demonstrating a real feel for the game across the board.

He was credited with 84 tackles and three forced fumbles on the year, while offensively scoring six touchdowns while on double duty.

Randle has consistently risen up the rankings over the past few updates, highlighting the staff’s ability to evaluate and make an impression early. Adding on weight will only make his athleticism even more noticeable, pairing his range with power at the next level.

He chose the Hurricanes over the likes of Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

Randle becomes Miami’s first “true” linebacker of the 2027 class with recent commit Jayvon Dawson’s position to be determined between linebacker and defensive edge at the next level.

The Hurricanes are now up to 15 commitments this cycle, and in the top-5 nationally for the 2027 class.

Miami will continue to search for another linebacker in the class, ranging from options such as Kaden Henderson, Noah Glover and Jalaythan Mayfield, as well as keeping the board open for risers this offseason.

For those who saw the commitment I am sure they will agree that he is EXTREMELY respectful and likable young man. The difference between his annnouncement and some other people…..could not have been more glaring.

Maturity is an actual thing. Some have it, some do not.

100%. There's ways to imply "Mario Era!" without looking like a fool

In today's NIL era integrity is important. Losing big-time commitments at the altar can really hurt. Hearing the young man and seeing his family makes me optimistic that he sticks. Welcome!

Literally was going to say the same thing verbatim, save for replacing maturity with class.
