Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman commit Joel Ervin informed CanesInSight last week that he would shut down his recruitment. Now, he has been upgraded to a four-star prospect according to 247Sports.

"Getting the respect I deserve, AGTG," said the four-star Miami commit on Twitter.

Joel stands 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 320 pounds, playing as an offensive tackle from Fort Myers, Florida. He is currently ranked as the 528th player in the 2026 class, the 22nd offensive lineman, and the 32nd player in Florida.

He is a member of the Fort Myers offensive line. He contributed 1,759 rushing yards and 31 touchdowns over 12 games.

Joel has received 28 offers from various schools, including the Hurricanes, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Colorado, and North Carolina. He chose Miami over Florida, FSU, USC, Georgia, and others.

He told CanesInSight that he doesn't plan on taking any other visits besides Miami.

Is he a LT with Cantwell at RT?

I sent his stuff to a friend of mine that knows things about OL. He said he really likes his potential at guard fwiw

I’m not much for OL evals but looks like he could play a lot of spots

I think he is a guard as well. I think Ben Congdon is more of a true LT.

Regardless OT is more valuable so you let him compete for that spot first unless we have an actual need at Guard that he could win the job of quicker...
