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.
