Four-Star EDGE Asharri Charles Commits to Miami Hurricanes

This pledge brings Miami’s 2026 recruiting class to 15 total commitments and further solidifies the group’s national standing, with the Hurricanes currently sitting at No. 10 in the On3 team rankings. Charles has been a regular visitor to Coral Gables throughout the spring and summer, and those repeated visits helped establish a strong relationship with the Miami coaching staff. His familiarity with the program and the comfort level he and his family felt during recent trips appear to have played a significant role in his decision.

A major influence in Charles’ recruitment has been the presence of Miami defensive line coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor. The Hurricanes’ emphasis on player development—particularly at the EDGE position—was an appealing factor for Charles, who is expected to thrive in Miami’s aggressive defensive system. His decision also represents a broader success for Miami’s staff, who continue to keep top-tier in-state talent from leaving Florida.

With Charles now in the fold, Miami’s defensive haul in the 2026 class gains another disruptive presence off the edge, joining other recent additions like Tyson Bacon. As the Hurricanes continue to build their future front seven, Charles projects as someone who could contribute early in his career, thanks to the physical tools and football instincts that translate well to the next level. His commitment underscores Miami’s growing momentum on the recruiting trail and their pursuit of elite talent to anchor their defensive identity moving forward.
