The Bye Week is a work week when it comes to recruiting. Here is the latest:
- Javian Mallory (West Boca) is locked in at running back, but the Canes are looking to stack talent. One name to keep an eye on: Atlanta four-star Amari Latimer. The Wisconsin commit is having an outstanding senior season and the folks in the Hecht have noticed:
- The Canes are also working multiple fronts at wide receiver. The name with the most juice is four-star Milan Parris (Akron, OH). He recently decommitted from Iowa State and is visiting in two weeks. The staff is working that one hard. While Paris is the guy to watch, another name to add to the board is Vanderbilt commit Keeyshawn Tabuteau (Chattanooga, TN). The Quebec, Canada native recently posted a 10.8 100M on the track .
- Calvin Russell (Northwestern) and Jasen Lopez (Chaminade) remain live targets as local receivers. Those are fluid situations.
- TE Israel Briggs (Visalia, CA) is committed and the Canes continue to push for TE Luke Brewer (Des Moines, Iowa). Another name to add to the board is TE Gavin Mueller from Chicago. Like many of the new names on the board, the 6'5, 255 Colorado commit is having a strong senior season. He also plays basketball:
- The strategy at defensive line is simple: "Swing for the fences." Expect aggressive pushes for the likes of Anthony "Tank" Jones (Mobile, AL), Bryce Perry-Wright (Atlanta, GA) and Dre Quinn (Atlanta, GA).
- With Clemson struggling, Miami is working multiple flips. I think there is more traction with S Blake Stewart (Atlanta, GA) than OC Grant Wise (Pace, FL). Stewart remains an extremely high priority at safety.
- Another Atlanta-area safety that the Canes are evaluating is Indiana commit Jamar Owens. He is visiting this weekend.
- As first reported on CanesInSight, Miami is making a serious push for #1 2027 QB Elijah Haven (Baton Rouge, LA) while continuing to pursue high-priority target Trent Seaborn (Birmingham, AL).
- Coach Heatherman would love to add another linebacker, and he recently visited Louisville native (and Cardinals commitment) Karsten Busch. The 6'3, 223-pound former TE continues to rise as a defender.
