The Miami Hurricanes just landed a blue-chip receiver, but the recruiting trails never stop. Mario Cristobal and the recruiting staff are after another player who just decommitted from an ACC team.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers are stuck in the past, and the Hurricanes are taking advantage of that fact. They have their eyes set on a recent decommit and commit.

The first is defensive lineman Keshawn Stancil. The defensive lineman had been committed to the Tigers since the summer, but after a visit to Miami over the weekend, there could be a change of heart. Now he is predicted to land with the Hurricanes sooner rather than later.

The next player is four-star Blake Stewart, who had been committed to the Tigers since July. As he decommits, current 2026 commits have campaigned for him to come to South Florida, where there is a clear new sense of trust in the secondary room.

The Hurricanes still have the No. 12 class in the country and the top class in the ACC. But as history has shown, they have been able to recruit players over stars. They are moving well into the future and doing great things for the next roster.
