Miami is officially one step closer to landing one of the top quarterbacks in the 2028 recruiting class.
On Wednesday, 4-star quarterback Neimann Lawrence announced his final five schools, and the Hurricanes are right in the mix alongside Notre Dame, Texas, Michigan, and Texas A&M. Lawrence is set to make his college decision on June 25, bringing one of the most closely watched recruitments in the country to an end.
Lawrence has been one of the fastest-rising prospects in the 2028 class and has quickly become a national target. According to 247Sports, he’s ranked as the No. 73 overall player in the country, the No. 6 quarterback nationally, and the No. 11 player in Florida. The 247Sports Composite rankings are even higher on him, placing him among the top 55 players in the nation. Those rankings explain why nearly every major program in college football wanted a shot at him.
The American Heritage standout picked up offers from powerhouse programs across the country, including Ohio State, Georgia, Oregon, Penn State, Florida State, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, and many others before trimming his list to five, now it comes down to Miami, Notre Dame, Texas, Michigan, and Texas A&M.
Miami has made recruiting South Florida talent a major priority under Mario Cristobal, and keeping a quarterback like Lawrence home would be another huge statement. The Hurricanes have built momentum on the recruiting trail in recent years, and adding a player of Lawrence’s caliber would only strengthen the future of the program.
The talented quarterback has backed up the hype on the field, showing off a strong arm, good decision-making, and the ability to make plays when things break down. It’s easy to see why so many schools pushed hard to get him on campus.
With June 25 now circled on the calendar, Hurricane fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out where Lawrence plans to play his college football. Miami made the final cut, now the Hurricanes will look to finish the job.
