Five-Star Tight End Mark Bowman Lists Miami in his Final Seven Schools

Out of the schools listed, the Hurricanes send the highest drafted tight end, Elijah Arroyo, in the 2025 draft, and should have a clear advantage for the star tight end. The top tight end in the country is a California native, so that also could play in his favor if he wanted to travel across the country. The Hurricanes won't stop because of the deep roots that Mario Cristobal has on the West Coast, thanks to his time with the Ducks.

The Hurricanes have the No. 8 recruiting class in the country after the commitment of Cantwell, and more stars will start to commit to the Hurricanes soon and boost that number.
