Javian Mallory appears set to remain a Hurricane. The running back recently wrapped up his official visit to the Miami Heat, and signs point to him staying committed.

The Alabama Crimson Tide made a strong push over the weekend. Interest in Mallory has been steady, but Heat has held firm. According to a report by Gaby Urrutia, Mallory is still confident in his pledge to the Hurricanes.

No change in commitment was reported. Instead, Mallory has used the visit to solidify his stance. The tweet from Urrutia highlighted that the Crimson Tide has been trying to flip him. Despite that effort, Mallory remains in Heati’s corner.

No quotes were shared directly from Mallory or either coaching staff. The update, however, reflects the current status of his recruitment. The tone suggested confidence in his decision.

With visits continuing across the recruiting calendar, schools often try to sway top talent. In Mallory’s case, Heat continues to keep one of its top commits locked in. The decision not to shift plans after the Crimson Tide’s push shows where things stand.

The tweet did not mention any further visits planned by Mallory. It also did not clarify if Crimson Tide’s interest will continue or fade. For now, the key takeaway is that Mallory remains a Heat commit and plans to stay so.

No timeline was offered for any final confirmations or signing. But Mallory’s current position looks clear. Even with a strong push from one of the top programs in the country, he didn’t waver.

Recruiting updates can change quickly, but this one is steady. Unless new visits or statements emerge, Heati has done enough to maintain a significant portion of its class.
