The Miami Hurricanes welcomed one of the top young prospects in the country this week as 2028 four-star tight end JC Wessel made his way to Coral Gables for a visit.
Wessel, a standout at Bolles School in Jacksonville Florida, shared photos from his trip to Miami, including a stop inside the Hurricanes’ football facilities alongside members of the coaching staff. While the 2028 recruiting cycle is still in its early stages, the talented tight end has already established himself as one of the most sought-after prospects in the nation.
Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing around 230 pounds, Wessel possesses the size, athleticism, and versatility that college programs covet at the tight end position. His ability to create mismatches in the passing game while continuing to develop as a blocker has made him one of the best players in his class.
Programs from across the country have already taken notice. Wessel’s offer list continues to grow with schools such as Alabama, Ohio State, Florida, Florida State, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Pittsburgh, Purdue, and many others already extending scholarships. As his high school career progresses, his recruitment is expected to become one of the most closely watched battles in the 2028 cycle. Wessel is currently ranked as the No. 131 overall player in the 2028 class and the No. 5 tight end nationally.
For Miami, getting Wessel on campus this early is an important step. Mario Cristobal and his staff have placed a major emphasis on building relationships with elite underclassmen, and the Hurricanes continue to make recruiting top talent a priority. Hosting Wessel gives Miami an opportunity to showcase its facilities, coaching staff, and vision for the future while establishing a connection with one of the nation’s best young tight ends.
Wessel’s stock has continued to rise over the past year. The Georgia and Florida native earned Tight End MVP honors at the Navy National Combine and has consistently impressed people with his combination of length, and athleticisms. Recruiting analysts view him as one of the highest-upside tight ends in the entire 2028 class.
Although there is still a long way to go before Wessel makes a college decision, Miami has already put itself in the conversation by getting the talented prospect on campus. Early visits can play a significant role in a recruitment, and the Hurricanes made sure to leave a strong impression during his time in South Florida.
With big named schools expecting to continue pursuing Wessel over the coming years, Miami’s early involvement could prove valuable as the Hurricanes look to stay firmly in the mix for one of the top tight ends in the 2028 recruiting class.
