Miami’s 2027 Elite Targets

The 2027 recruiting cycle is already underway, with Miami in the hunt for elite talent for their 2027 class. It could be a “target rich environment” for the Canes this cycle.

Head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff have already evaluated and identified at least dozen “elite” prospects nationwide that have expressed interest in Miami.

Our definition of “elite” is a prospect in the top ten at his position. While it may not be realistic to think the Canes will land all these top targets, coach Cristobal is famous for his relentless approach to recruiting. We should expect Miami to stack more than its fair share of ELITE blue-chip talent.

Here’s a rundown of those early “elite” targets of Miami’s radar.

Mark Matthews (#1 OT)

Kemon Spell (#1 RB)

DJ Jacobs (#1 Edge)

Monshun Sales (#2 WR)

Nick Lennear (#4 WR)

Kaden Henderson (#2 LB)

Myson Johnson-Cook (#2 ATH)


Tyson Robinson (#4 RB)

Gunner Rivers (#7 QB)

Jamar Thompson (#9 DL)

Roman Igwebuike (#5 LB)

Noah Roberts (#6 RB)

Ty Keys (#10 ATH)

Sean Tatum (#8 OT)

Demarcus Deroche (#10 Edge) COMMITTED

BOTTOM LINE:

Miami is positioned to reap a bountiful harvest of elite talent after back-to-back 10-win seasons.

GO CANES!
