Linebacker Decision Coming…

Miami has a major need at linebacker this recruiting cycle.

Seniors Mo Toure and Chase Smith will lead the linebackers this season but will exhaust their eligibility after the 2026 season. Miami wants to sign at least two backers to the 2027 recruiting class.

Defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman has been very active on the recruiting trail this cycle. Miami has made 19 scholarship offers to school seniors so far in the cycle.

Aroson Randle, Jr will announce his college destination this Thursday, May 21st. He will reportedly choose between Georgia, Ohio State, Miami, South Carolina, Florida and NC State.
