Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes coaching staff are building something special with the 2027 recruiting class, already landing a total of five five-star prospects. The Hurricanes are looking to add a sixth to the mix as they turn up the heat for one of the best defensive players in the country.

According to the latest CanesInSight Daily Podcast, DMoney stated that the Hurricanes are turning up the heat for DJ Jacobs, noting that he feels confident about where the Hurricanes currently stand in his recruitment:

"Speaking to sources directly connected. Miami is not only budgeted for DJ Jacobs to be that six five star. They are in communication with DJ Jacobs and they are completely locked in on adding him as that that six five star and there is momentum there," he added. "Now, if anyone tells you they know what DJ Jacobs is going to do, they are lying to you because DJ Jacobs, is hard to read. Everybody thought he was going to Miami the first time, ended up going famously to Ohio State in a way that, again, shocked the whole industry. They didn't know until really right before the commitment. No one knows what DJ Jacobs is going to do. There was some buzz that he might be going to to Tennessee because Rodney Garner, the defensive line coach for Tennessee Volunteers, coached his dad. So, that was part of the the story there. But from what I understand, Miami is right in the mix like they've been since the beginning. Miami has confidence that they can get this thing done."

He has been committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes since December 2025. When you have a chance to be coached by NFL Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, it is hard to turn that down. The Hurricanes continue to make a strong push for him as he heads into his senior season at Blessed Trinity Catholic School in Roswell, Georgia. Last year, Jacobs was down to Coral Gables for a game-day visit to watch the game against Notre Dame and Florida. He was supposed to visit this summer, but he canceled at the last minute.

According to the 247Sports Composite Recruiting Rankings, he is currently viewed as a five-star prospect. He ranks as the nation's No. 3 overall player, No. 1 edge rusher, and No. 1 player out of the Peach State. This past season, the 6-foot-4, and 240-pound edge rusher led the Titans to an overall record of 7-5 and 2-2 in region play. He recorded a total of 102 tackles, 24.0 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks.

Hoping Ohio St takes an L tonight. Imagine if we flip him, and get Wright to reclassify. Hope we put the pressure on Dollar. Need a stud in that room too. Legendary class

It's sarcasm. You're telling the truth but I'm in denial...

Who would Ohio state lose to tonight?

 

What lies,you were impress with our pass rush today?

When are some of you going to understand that you shouldn’t comment if you don’t know what you’re watching?

Teams are game-planning for it. They’re running RPOs, 6 and 7 man fronts, quick passes, etc to make sure we can’t gain an advantage with our pass rush.

It’s not that hard. You could use the internet if you wanted to.

 

Who would Ohio state lose to tonight?

My bad. My son told me they were playing USC tonight.

 

100%! I wish fans would get their minds out of the past and let it go. What Ed Reed did 25 years ago makes no difference to any recruit now. All that matters is what’s being put on the field right now and what the coaches are doing right now. People need to let this history stuff go already.

You would 100% be right IF that team and those players weren't a polar opposite of what you're speaking on. It would be us living in the past and nostalgia as fan being the only thing relevant only if that team wasn't constantly talked about by all of national media and all of college football as the greatest team ever it is constantly discussed you can see it on a weekly basis all throughout a football season and quite often in offseason the fact there's Hall of famers on that team all pros all the first round picks whatever that's nostalgia that isn't anywhere near as relevant towards the kid now as the fact that team maintains its relevancy because it is always a talking points throughout media if it would have been like that LSU team that people say is in that conversation it would be very different because people don't really talk about that LSU team like that some people do but it's not a big talking point it's not constantly mentioned this old one team is constantly mentioned that would be my one disagreement and what you're saying.

 

Sorry,I'm getting old.

You're not getting old, you're getting BETTER brother!
