Landing the No. 1 player in the class does not stop the Miami Hurricanes from going after the best of the best. They are looking to land Danny Odem, another cornerback in this class.

Chad Simmons of On3 reports that Odem is down to his top eight schools: Miami, Oklahoma, Georgia, Nebraska, Syracuse, Clemson, Penn State, and Florida.

After already having three cornerbacks committed for the 2026 class, Odem would be another talented player that the Canes would love to have. The 6-foot-1 Orlando, Fla. native is length and a raw prospect. He has a lot of upside because of his physical abilities, but he can also do several things, including tracking the ball down.

The Hurricanes continue to add to the 2026 class as they have entered the top ten in recruiting and retake the No. 1 spot in the ACC.
