This morning, Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal spoke on 560 WQAM radio, where he stated that former five-star defensive lineman commit Hayden Lowe is no longer with the team.



Lowe did not play last season after battling through an injury that sidelined him for the full 2025-26 season. Lowe was also kept away from spring camp this season due to personal issues. He was a top 2025 recruit, named as a five-star prospect. He ranked as the nation's No. 16 overall player, No. 2 edge rusher, and the No. 2 player out of California.

Cristobal also noted that incoming freshman cornerback Jontavius Wyman is no longer with the team. He was ranked as the nation's No. 64 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class and was expected to take limited snaps behind a crowded defensive back group.

Cristobal also said tight end Luka Gilbert will miss the entire 2026-27 season due to an injury. With Gilbert going down, someone is going to have to step up in the tight end room, giving more opportunities to Gavin Mueller and Israel Briggs.

 

Anyone still have that video of him and blount? In the car talking

 

What truly happened with Lowe will remain life's greatest mystery

Right up there with whatever came of Bambi Woods after Debbie Does Dallas

And Deejays Ace, no one truly knows who it was

 

Didn't a shotgun penetrate him where the sun dont shine?

that's what i reported, but it is false information. i later learned by source was not reliable

Oh Lowe what happened to ye?

 

Much harder to do diligence across the country than in South FL. Most high school coaches want their kids going to the biggest program possible, and when other high school players and families hear a coach is dogging a kid to college coaches they will go elsewhere. Who else is there to contact? His family isn't going to say their own kid is a ****head when he's about to make 6 figures

 

Not saying it happened to him but I have seen plenty of people i grew up with go off to college and comeback totally different people. A few of them got laced with something. Im talking the most jolly, least confrontational people i know turning into complete ******** and unrecognizable by their own family

 

Sucks he couldn’t get his shii together, but this also makes me wonder why McConathy switch to TE. In terms of big body DEs that can hold up at the point of attack it was just Lowe, Blount, and McConathy. His switch to TE was always confusing to me bc there was a role for him as a SDE.

Ive seen this happen too

I have zero info, but to me it just seems like a highly talented player who has always been coddled, gets paid, and thinks he's better than anyone, including coaches, and beats to his own drum and then it affeted his personality, and he used his size and strength as a personal way to handle relationships

Did Wyman really finish that highly rated? The number 64th player in the country?

64th best CORNERBACK.

 

Mario is a lot looser than when he got here. Not as loose as a San Francisco sphincter - but you can see it - looser. More relaxed. Having more fun.

That alone to me is a comforting - when the coach is pretty happy - everyone's happy. His first couple of years here - I had no idea he could even smile.

This is getting . . . fun!

He had some restrained jubilation when he said we're 'getting...better.'

Once you have a critical mass in an developing organization it develops it's own momentum. He has the right coaches and players. You can see the confidence.
