The Miami Hurricanes have landed back-to-back commits in two days. The Canes have added another top defensive player from the 2026 class in a spot that they desperately needed.

Defensive lineman Keshawn Stancil has flipped his commitment from Clemson to the Miami Hurricanes.

The four-star defensive lineman had been committed to the Tigers since June, but now, there are some murky waters with Dabo Swinney and Clemson. The Hurricanes and Cristobal are taking advantage of those players and adding them to a deep recruiting class that continues to show promising signs.

Even with the two previous additions, they still rank as the No. 12 recruiting class in the country. The Canes are now moving towards making sure that they are solidifying the top class in the ACC for years to come as they push to be one of the better teams in the country.
