Miami has secured its second top-10 linebacker in the 2027 class as Virginia native Noah Glover announced his commitment to the Canes this evening.



A 6-foot-1, 205-pound all-around linebacker who Miami’s defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman visited on multiple occasions this past Spring, Glover garnered interest from some of the top schools in the country with his traditional linebacker play.

In only nine games this past season, Glover made an impact all over the field for his Battlefield high school side — with 73 tackles, five sacks and two blocked punts.
He’s a versatile linebacker who can play across the field, a sentiment shared by the Miami staff.

“They see me as a WILL, SAM, MIKE, all that — I just think I fit in really well here in the scheme,” Glover said.

The four-star linebacker moves across the field well with real instincts at the position. Glover spots gaps well and attacks with thumping force in both the pass and run game.

He reads quarterbacks especially well, and uses his plus speed to track them down as they escape the pocket.

Glover committed to the Canes over the likes of Georgia, Notre Dame and Texas A&M, joining recent commit AJ Randle in Miami’s linebacker room for the 2027 class.

Like Randle, Glover mentioned how crucial defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman was in his decision.

“Coach Hetherman is a great ball guy,” Glover said. We talked ball for a bit, watched some film, just like just really understanding him, I really like him as a coach.”

With his commitment, UM moves up to 17 players this cycle as it moves ever closer to its “smaller” expected haul of 20-23 recruits.

 

Impressive back to back LB classes filled with speed.

2026
Jordan Campbell 6-1 225 4star, known to have sideline to sideline speed
Karsten Busch 6-3 223 4star, 4.5 speed
Justin Edwards 6-1 225 3star, 4,57 verified 40 time

2027
Aroson Randle Jr. 6-3 210 4star, State championship in the 300 meter hurdles
Noah Glover 6-2 210 4star, 11.5 in the 100 meters

Complete overhaul. Will be nice to LBU again. Been too long.

 

He has all the traits and mind set of what you want at LB. Size was my only concern with him. When I saw he measured in at 210, I was all in. 210 is my personal cut off at LB. This program taking tiny LB's for 20 years has given me a totally allergic reaction to any LB not stepping on campus already at 210 or above. I don't know how many 190lbs S. FL LB's we have taken over the years, but it's way, way to many. Randle and Glover are a awesome LB combo.

Spence played his senior year at MNW at 190 and Vilma at Gables wasn't much more. But they're rare specimens. I'm okay with LBs hovering around 200 in h.s., it's the200 ln rush ends we try to convert to LB that have had mixed results over the years.

Mixed results? You mean no results. Nice to see we’re brining in guys who actually played LB in high school.

 

 

Got the annual “Entire recruiting staff and every commit post the same image” going on right now

 

We didn't really talk about him much, and we shoulda, young man seems mature and focused. Not to mention loving our Canes...

Probably a response to the gator making kids say in those AlQaeda-style interviews "Miami just asks how much Florida is offering and says they will double it"

 

 

This is a high-end prospect with very good upside.

The key with him will be weight; if he can comfortably hit the 225-230lbs range by the time he's a Sophomore, he's absolutely going to be in the starter role.

Definitely can play as a true Mike LB or Weakside. I'm guessing AJ Randle will likely be the primary OLB at Will, so Glover should be getting in the rotation at Mike, depending on if we sign another LB this class.

But if he can add good weight & strength, he looks like a 3 year starter to me.

My comp:

 

Three day visit.

Anyone know if this is an old or new shoulder injury Noah is nursing?

 

 

 

Glad he’s with us. Smooth Sideline to sideline that second tackle

 

 

 

 

Good sideline to sideline speed to add to the core.
