​RUNNING BACK:
NEED: 1-2 | MEDIUM PRIORITY​
updated: 12/12/25
OVERVIEW: Miami's vaulted rushing attack is scheduled to return four backs (Mark Fletcher, Jordan Lyle, CharMar Brown, Girard Pringle) Jr. ) In 2025, they will be joined by 2026 true freshman Javian Mallory. None will exhaust their eligibility after the 2025 season. However, there is a possibility Fletcher will elect to leave early for the NFL. We may also experience a transfer. Miami prefers to carry five running backs because of the physical nature of the position. Look for the Canes to sign one or two running backs in the 2027 recruiting class.

WIDE RECEIVER:
NEED: 2-3 | MEDIUM PRIORITY​
updated: 12/15/25
​
OVERVIEW: Miami carried ten (10) wide receivers (Ny Carr , CJ Daniels, Tony Johnson, Ray Ray Joseph, Keelan Marion, Joshua Moore Chance Robinson, Malachi Toney, Joshisa Trader, Daylyn Upshaw) in 2025. Daniels, Johnson, and Marion exhausted their eligibility after this past season. Ray Ray Joseph recently announced his intention to enter the transfer portal. The Canes recently signed four talented wide receivers in their 2026 recruiting class. But that is a lot of experience to loose. The Canes may choose to add an experienced receiver from the portal this winter. Looking forward, Cristobal wants to continue to stack talentat this position. Miami prefers to carry 10-12 wide receivers on the roster. We project the Canes will sign 2-3 wide receivers in the 2027 recruiting class.

Only Bauman has exhauted his eligibility after this past season. Miami prefers to carry 5-6 tight ends on their roster. At this time, Miami has offered scholarships to fifteen 2027 prospects.

Summary: Multi-sport athlete (Track & Field) | Starting left tackle in HS | [247Sports - Big tree with exceptional physical features and promising movement patterns that’s going to have a chance to protect the corner at the game’s highest levels if it all comes together.
-Measured just over 6-foot-8, 335 pounds in advance of junior year. Flashes surprising conviction on front-side blocks for someone with such a high center of gravity as he flips his hips and hunts for takedowns. Quick to extend the arc in pass sets with his lateral slide and will make in-snap adjustments to recover from false steps. Still figuring out to handle wide speed rushers, but has made noticeable strides in that department since first emerging on the scene and has a unique advantage with his reach. Injured knee as sophomore, but hasn’t shown many signs of lingering effects. Should be viewed as a high-upside tackle that can play in both a zone or gap scheme. Must keep developing, but size and athleticism is well worth the investment for a College Football Playoff contender. - Andrew Ivins

Summary: [247Sports] Hildebrand is a swing tackle who can play on the right or left side but probably projects best as a right tackle or even a guard at the college level. He has a good frame and length, moves well in space and looks on-balance and fluid in his movement. He can play high at times and needs to continue to improve from a technical standpoint but he has plenty of time to do so. He has a nice edge in his game and is a finisher. He plays through the whistle and can routinely take his man 10 yards down the field or put them on their back. There’s some definite tools here and it will be interesting to watch his continued development over the next year. - Greg Biggins
