Recruiting Rundown: Miami's Top Targets React to Week Eight Victory

Class of 2025 wide receiver Malachi Toney also committed to Miami this week, bolstering what is looking to be one of not only the ACC's top recruiting classes, but one of the nation's.

247Sports' Gaby Urrutia reported that class of 2025 4-Star linebacker Kellen Wiley, who has already visited Coral Gables three times, has scheduled another visit for November 23rd, when Miami takes on Wake Forest.

The Hurricanes extended an offer to 2025 4-Star offensive tackle Damola Ajidahun who is currently committed to Georgia Tech. He is the 43rd ranked player in the state of Georgia and the 27th ranked offensive tackle in the nation.

2026 5-star and the No. 1 ranked offensive tackle in the nation, Jackson Cantwell, is expected to be in town for Miami's home game against Duke this weekend. Standing at 6-foot-7, 300 lbs., Cantwell is one of the nation's premiere recruits, so the Hurricanes will certainly be looking to make a good impression.

Fellow 2026 offensive lineman Kyren Green also announced, via social media, that he will be at Hard Rock Stadium this weekend as well for a visit with Miami.

Another offensive lineman from the class of 2026 announced this week that Miami has officially made his final list of seven schools, which also included Alabama, Florida State, Indiana, Georgia, Colorado and Texas A&M. Zykie Helton, who is rated as a 4-Star prospect, is one of the top recruits from the state of Georgia.

Recruits React to Massive Weekend

Miami had over 100 prospects in attendance of the game against Florida State. Take a look at what several of them had to say following their visits.

Class of 2026 4-Star offensive lineman Grant Wise was one of the many prospects in Miami on Saturday night. He is the 37th ranked player in the state of Florida and the 12th ranked interior offensive lineman in the country.

Fellow member of the 2026 recruiting class, Bryce Perry-Wright, who is the 13th ranked player in the state of Georgia and the 12th ranked defensive lineman in the nation looked to enjoy his time in Miami this past weekend as well.

Ryan Miret, another member of the 2026 class, took to social media to share his thoughts on his visit to Coral Gables. He is rated as a 3-Star prospect and is the 62nd ranked player in the state of Florida.
