2026 3-star OT Joel Ervin announced his commitment to the University of Miami today, flipping from Louisville.



“I think right now is the perfect time [to commit] because a lot of guys aren’t committed, and I want to commit early and target some more players,” said Ervin.

Ervin has all the measurables for a high-end O-Line prospect. The Fort Myers product measures in at 6-foot-6, 330 pounds with 11.5-inch hands an 88 inch wingspan. Such tools are comparable and even better than most of the NFL draft prospects this year. Moreover, he appears to carry the weight with lean mass.



Ervin was offered last May, visiting for multiple games and locking in an official visit this June. He was also in attendance for spring practice this week as the ’Canes continue to lock down recruits following unofficials.

The staff believes this O-Line class to be one of the best in recent memory, continuing to pursue 5-stars Jackson Cantwell and Keenyi Pepe and a plethora of other four and three stars, evident with the aggressiveness in flipping Ervin.

Both offensive line commits (Ervin and Congdon) possess the tools you can’t teach with their height and frame being some of the best in the class. With O-Line gurus Alex Mirabal and Mario Cristobal, the sky's the limit for Ervin, Congdon, and future recruits to develop at the U.

Ervin becomes Miami’s seventh 2026 commit alongside Javian Mallory, Jaelen Waters, Ben Congdon, Dereon Coleman, Jordan Campbell, and Camdin Portis.

 

I know his coach very well and he pointed Ervin out to me nearly two years ago and said yall are gonna want this one...dude is very underrated.

 

For a second I was focused on the right tackle thinking it was him.

Ong I said that kid is a turnstile

 

 

Some reason these OL kids love to knock over a kid and land on them. **** poor coaching. Move your fit down field hit someone else. In every film.

 

bluestein had a great story about this kid ...

The problem is that some schools keep stats for pancake blocks. Once that happens, it creates the wrong incentive. A 2nd block would be a lot more useful than laying on someone.

because kicking the **** out of the guy in front of you is fun. Highly recommend it.

 

 

Holy **** lol

 

Quickly becoming a Mario favorite…he will play this year.

 

Holy **** lol

That was Asharri Charles BTW. Charles actually had a good scrimmage, its just that Ervin is a beast. @DMoney has been raving about him since we flipped him and looks to be justified.

Oh yeah I don't think Charles is a scrub or anything like that. It was more so how effortlessly Ervin moved him lol it was like when Thanos beat the dog**** out of Hulk.
