The 2026 NFL Draft concluded in April with nine Miami Hurricanes selected, which was the most since 2017. The program hopes to have even more players drafted as the Hurricanes are expected to put top-talent into the upcoming 2027 NFL Draft.
Pro Football Network released their top-five best cornerback prospects heading into next year's draft. The network named Miami Hurricanes cornerback OJ Frederique Jr., as the No. 3 cornerback prospect. Headlining the group is Leonard Moore (Notre Dame) and at No. 2 Ellis Robinson IV (Georgia).
Since his freshman season, Frederique has played a big role for the Hurricanes' secondary and has made a huge name for himself in the college football world. He missed the final five regular-season games before returning for Miami's College Football Playoff run, making his return against Texas A&M. Against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, he went down with a lower-leg injury. However, he still appeared in Miami's semifinal game against Ole Miss but was limited.
During his two seasons with the Hurricanes, he has recorded a total of 46 tackles, 14 pass deflections, and one interception. According to Pro Football Focus, Frederique is one of the most highest-graded cornerbacks in the college football landscape.
He had a decision to make in the off-season regarding his return back to Miami. The secondary includes OJ Frederique, Xavier Lucas, Damari Brown, Bryce Fitzgerald, Omar Thornton, Zechariah Poyser, and Ethan O'Connor, among others.
With Frederique getting the well-deserved attention from one of the most popular draft websites, he now has to prove on the field why he should be a top-five cornerback selected in the upcoming draft.
