The Miami Hurricanes continue to make noise on the recruiting trail, and the latest numbers from Rivals show just how impressive Mario Cristobal’s 2027 recruiting class has been.
According to Rivals, Miami currently holds the highest average rating per commit in the country with a 91.55 average. The Hurricanes narrowly edge out Ohio State (91.52) for the top spot, while Texas Tech, LSU, Notre Dame, USC, Texas A&M, Texas, Oregon, and Florida round out the top ten.
While team rankings often get the most attention, average rating per commit provides a different perspective. Rather than rewarding programs for simply having more commitments, it measures the overall quality of each playee in a recruiting class. Seeing this, Miami’s class is currently the most talented in the nation.
Cristobal and his staff have built a reputation for landing elite talent since arriving in Coral Gables. That trend has continued in the 2027 cycle as Miami has prioritized high-end prospects early and has been selective with the players it has accepted commitments from.
The Hurricanes’ recruiting momentum has been fueled by strong relationships, consistent development on the field, and a vision that continues to build with recruits and their families. Miami has also benefited from being aggressive in recruiting South Florida while expanding its reach nationally.
Holding the No. 1 average rating per commit this early in the cycle does not guarantee Miami will finish with the nation’s top class, but it does say that the Hurricanes are competing with college football’s most elite programs on the recruiting trail. With plenty of time remaining before signing day, Miami is positioning itself to be in the conversation for one of the nation’s best classes.
For a program looking to return to championship contention, stacking elite talent remains the foundation. Right now, no school is doing that more efficiently than Miami.
