Our STARS shine bright…
The Miami Hurricanes are having a very strong season. At 7-2, 3-2 ACC, the Canes are competing for a berth in the College Football Playoffs and maybe a shot at the conference championship game. While football is certainly a team game, individual player performance fuels the team’s success. A number of Canes have received recognition for their contribution to Miami’s success on the field.

MOST REALISTIC… November 9, 2025
November 9, 2025 After the disappointing loss to SMU, Miami rebounded with a convincing win against Syracuse on Saturday. Miami (7-2, 3-2) will likely not go to Charlotte this season and unlikely to get a bid to the college football playoff. Our focus must now shift to closing strong on the recruiting trail. Who are the most likely realistic prospects Miami still has a realistic chance to land next month? WARNING… we may be overly optimistic. Safety Blake Stewart Miami is sti

MOST REALISTIC…
November 3, 2025 - Prior to the disappointing loss to SMU on Saturday, we projected Miami could take as many as 31 new recruits this cycle. After the loss, not so much anymore. Miami was upset by SMU, 26-20 in overtime. It was not just a hard fought loss, it was the way the Canes lost. Penalties and interceptions. In every other aspect of the game, Miami clearly dominated. But it wasn’t good enough to win. Miami (6-2, 2-2) will likely not go to Charlotte this season and unlik

Canes fall in OT, 26-20
For all intents and purposes, Miami (6-2, 2-2 ACC) will not play for the ACC Championship or be invited to the College Football Playoffs this season after losing to SMU, 26-20, in overtime on Saturday. Miami outplayed SMU in ALMOST every facet of the game, except for two…PENALTIES and TURNOVERS. The Canes committed twelve (12) penalties for 96 yards and gave up two interceptions. That was enough to lose the game. On offense, Miami out gained SMU in total yards, 433 to 388. Th
