We are now under 100 days away from College Football starting back up in the Sunshine State; to celebrate On3 released their top-100 college football players for the upcoming 2026-27 season, which shows Miami tons of love.
Counting down from 100, the first Hurricane to appear on the list was Mark Fletcher Jr. at 93. Ahead of Fletcher are No. 54 Damon Wilson, No. 44 Darian Mensah, and No. 27 Ahmad Moten, with No. 5 Malachi Toney leading all Hurricanes at No. 5.
Malachi Toney was the No. 2 wide receiver in the country just behind No. 1 Jeremiah Smith. Ahmad Moten sits at No. 5 among defensive linemen. Hurricanes starting quarterback Darian Mensah checks in at No. 7 among his position group, slotting in just behind USC's Jayden Maiava.
On3's Clark brooks spoke on Malachi Toney:
The On3 Offensive Freshman of the Year is again poised to be one of the top playmakers in college football. In his breakout rookie season, Malachi Toney was targeted or handed the ball on almost 15 percent of the Hurricanes’ plays. As the motor for his offense, he only was responsible for a single drop against his total of 99 catches, which are 11 more than any returning receiver. Moreover, his sparky style forced the Power Four’s most missed tackles after the catch (33). But he wasn’t just some compiler, contrary to the abundant outlet screens. Toney displayed a desirable balance of both production and efficiency. He’s among seven returners with a 1,000-yard campaign and 2.4 yards per route run. Miami spent big for a QB in the transfer portal again. So Toney’s sophomore encore ought to have plenty more fireworks.
The Hurricanes have the most players selected in the top-100 list among all ACC teams.
