Miami has officially secured the signing of 2026 defensive lineman Isaac Chukwurah.
Originally a Penn State commit, Chukwurah reopened his recruitment following the firing of James Franklin, and the Hurricanes made a move immediately — the first team to contact the Delaware native following the news.
Franklin (now at Virginia Tech) tried to push again for Chukwurah close to signing day, but the 'Canes were able to keep him in the class.
The 6-foot-2, 260 pound lineman creates havoc on the inside, really stuffing the run game on a consistent basis.
A two-sport athlete in both basketball and football, the Delaware native moves well on the line for his size.
He pairs his motor with impressive physical traits, notably, Chukwurah has an 82.5 inch wingspan, with 35-inch arms that would rank him at the top of the 2026 class.
