Don't look now, but the Miami Hurricanes are still looking to add elite talent in the 2026 recruiting class. One of the best players in the country has loved his visit so far with the Canes.

Five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown is one of many elite players who are looking for a home. The No. 1 defensive lineman and the No. 1 player in Louisiana has loved his visit so far in Coral Gables.

"Imma let y'all folks keep sleeping on Miami in my recruiting process, just watch," Brown said on his X account.

The Hurricanes have been massive for many recruits in their process this season. Last season coach Mario Cristobal had his first class outside of the top 10 since his trumpet return to Coral Gables. He won't let that happen again.
