Miami's plan before the season was to win, flip '26 players, and get off to a fast start in '27. They hope Saturday can be another step forward. Below is the latest in recruiting.
- There is a massive visitor list for the UF game. Here are just some of the top out-of-state players visiting:
2026
Jackson Cantwell
Nolan Wilson (Alabama commit)
Tyriq Green (Georgia commit)
Tyson Bacon
Ben Congdon
Camdin Portis
Jontavius Wyman
Cortez Redding
Isaiah Broughton (UNLV commit)
Marquez Daniel (Florida commit)
2027
David Jacobs, Jr. (5* DE) (second visit this season)
Tyson Robinson (4* RB)
Quinton Cypher (4* LB)
Jaxon Dollar (4* TE)
Joshua Sam-Epelle (4* OT)
This list is incomplete and growing. There will be more five-star visitors.
- Three under-the-radar defensive tackles to track: Frederic Sainteus (6'4, 275 from Naples), Logan Nagle (6'5, 270 from North NJ/NYC area) and Isaiah Broughton (6'4, 300 from Houston). Miami feels these players have the body types needed to compete for championships. The Canes are aggressively evaluating this position, including tracking the performances of highly ranked and high-value players as seniors.
- Some commits that are impressing on their senior film: WR Somourian Wingo (St. Augustine), QB Dereon Coleman (Orlando), the entire offensive line class, CB Jaelen Waters (Tampa), Izzy Briggs (Visalia, CA), and LB JJ Edwards (Orlando).
- The Canes love recent 2026 reclass Luke Brewer (Des Moines, IA). The 6'5, 233-pounder is having an outstanding start to his season. He’s visited Miami four times.
- In general, I expect the Canes to sign a lot of players. Given the changing rules and expected roster movement in college football, the Canes want to add as many championship-quality high school players as possible. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if we took 3 safeties and 4-5 WRs.
- Trent Seaborn (Birmingham, AL) remains the top target at QB for 2027. He told me he was impressed by the atmosphere at the USF game and loved the young receivers. This was his third visit of the calendar year. I expect the Canes to keep pushing here.
