One Chair Left… Safety

Miami currently has 18 verbal commitments to their 2027 recruiting class. It’s reported Miami will only take 20-22 recruits in this class.

One need that still needs to be addressed is at safety. Miami already has one verbal commitment from 4-star local safety Jaylyn Jones. That means Miami has only one remaining scholarship spot available in this position group.

It appears Miami wants a second safety to pair with Jones. Miami has two remaining targets on top of their board.

Andre Hyppolite

Hometown:  Miami, FL                              School:  North Miami Beach        

HT: 6'-1" | WT:  180 |  Offers: 23  |  Rating: 92 |  Pos. Rank: 18 |  Overall Rank: 211

Status:  UNCOMMITTED   |  Top Tier:  Minnesota, Florida, Miami, Notre Dame, Georgia

OV:  6/12/26         UOV:  3/5/26

Summary: Talented local prospect. In 2025, 63 TKL and 5 INT.  32 pass receptions, 405 yards and 4 TD

Ta'Shawn Poole


Hometown: Macon, GA                      School: Howard                      


HT: 6'-2"  | WT:  185 |  Offers: 31  |  Rating: 97  |  Pos. Rank: 4 |  Overall Rank: 74


Status:  UNCOMMITTED   |  Top Tier: Tennessee, FSU, Miami


OV: 6/19/26        UOV: ———


Summary: A late riser with Miami. If Poole makes official visit on June 19-20, then the Canes have a chance.

BOTTOM LINE:

Miami needs a second safety in this class. Hyppolite, a local target vs. Poole, a high four-star from Georgia. It will be interesting.

Stay tuned.

GO CANES!
