The Miami Hurricanes have landed their quarterback in the 2027 class, securing the commitment of Israel Abrams.



One of the consensus top three rated quarterbacks this recruiting cycle, the 6-foot-4, 190-pound Illinois native can zip the ball all across the field. He possesses an impressive combination of long levers and a quick release, able to manipulate his arm angles to fit throws into tight windows.

Those throws also come with significant velocity, exploding out of his hand on quick reads.

Abrams is 24-0 as a starter in high school, winning back-to-back state titles where in his junior campaign he threw for 4,072 yards and 40 touchdowns at a 68.5% completion rate.



Despite being relatively wiry at this stage, he’s showcased impressive pocket poise. Abrams consistently looks confident in the reads/throws he’s making as well as his ability to take a hit when it's needed for a big-time play.

Granted, I don’t believe Abrams will be one of those prospects that will simply “bulk up” upon arrival as it doesn’t suit his playing style. But a few pounds here and there could take his already advanced traits to that next level.

A main aspect of that sentiment comes from his ability to be elusive, adding onto his impressive throwing stats with ten rushing touchdowns last season.



With all his talent and national recognition, a fair question to ask is whether Miami will continue its trend of plucking one-year transfer quarterbacks following Darian Mensah’s expected departure if all goes to plan.

And while fans and pundits worry, Abrams understands the nature of the game, showcasing his impressive mentality heading into his collegiate career.

“I don’t want to transfer—that’s garbage, who wants to start all over again after everything you put in,” said Abrams to @DMoney following his visit on Tuesday. “If I’m going somewhere, it’s going to be a place where I can lay my legacy out and do everything I can to make the program better.”

Miami beat out the likes of Purdue, Kentucky, Auburn and Florida State for the Montini Catholic product — the Hurricanes highest rated QB commit since Kyle Wright in 2003.

Abrams becomes Miami’s eighth commitment in the 2027 class, joining five-star WR Nick Lennear as the headliners this cycle for the Canes. With plenty of more top-end recruits such as OT Mark Matthews, DE DJ Jacobs, LB Kaden Henderson and more having serious interest in repping the ‘U’, Cristobal’s 2027 class has the potential to be the best of his Hurricane tenure.

If not for goal line misses, he was on pace to go 20 for 20.

You feel me?

 

ALPHA DOG: ISRAEL ABRAMS (MIAMI COMMIT)​

(Photo: Elite 11, 247Sports)
We called Israel Abrams an artist after Day 1 and he painted an absolute masterpiece on Day 2 as he had our favorite Pro Day performance of the night. The No. 2-ranked quarterback in the Top247 not only posted the highest score for us at 41 points, but fired more dimes than anyone else with seven exceptional throws.

Abrams used a rapid release to glide through the first few stations before showcasing pinpoint accuracy in the deeper third. He put coverage-beaters on sharp lines to the perimeter, but was also able to change speeds and use the proper loft to lead wide receivers.

What also stood out about Abrams' Pro Day was the overall energy and attitude. He was the last finalist to go through the gauntlet and never faded even though some of the pass-catchers running routes were losing steam.

There certainly might be some recency bias coming into play, but we can confidently say that the session from Abrams was as good as any session we have seen at the Elite 11 Finals since the global pandemic in 2020. The peaks were extremely encouraging.

Reassuring statement considering elite 11 is a who’s who of quarterbacks and we’ve already seen multiple first rounders shine since the pandemic

 

Peter won the pro day event, seems Like they kept it pretty close to their statistics when ranking rather than use any eye test

 

Would be wild if Ryan Rakowski is the only non-p4 quarterback come signing day; he’s looked good out there. Someone should take a flyer on him.

Will be interesting to see if how Elijah Haven is ranked by the elite11 staff because the media evaluators aren’t as hyped on him as the actual rankers. He may lose his #1 ranking

 

 

Boy it’s going to be a fun QB battle to watch for 27/28 season.

 

Hopefully Abrams is everything we expect. We have had some really good transfer QBs but they have been one and done. We need a QB who can be here for multiple years. Mensah will probably be a one and done too but he does have 2 years of eligibility, so there hope at least lol.

 

that’s fascinating re “he compares himself to Lamar Jackson; the passer.”

 

Peter Bourque should be one of the oldest freshman or youngest sophomores, however, he reclassified back a year. Now, he will be 20 before VT’s first game in 2027.

The new NCAA rules will limit him from having five years of eligibility; he’ll only have four. Might not end up mattering for him however kinda important to know when evaluating him versus kids who are 2 years+ younger than him like Izzy.

Need?

 

 

Good kid nice interview. Need to handcuff Abrams to Baby Jesus so he's in the playbook and film room and on the practice field all day long come winter break. That interview shows he's not seeing sophisticated defenses in HS.

Franklin is cooking up something at Va Tech. With Clemson, FSU and UNC unable to get out of their own way, I could see them making a move sooner rather than later.

He gets hated on a ton however he did some remarkable work at Vandy and Penn State…before him; the last coach at Vandy who had an over .500 record was in the early 70s & had Bill Parcels as his DC.

In addition to Bourque, they have three solid quarterbacks in the room rn. Should be able to get them going rather quickly. Guy has won **** near 70% of his total games.

 

 

 

Need?

Yeah unless you want to keep rolling with one and done transfers. It definitely has worked but at some point you want to have continuity
