Wardell Mack, 5'11 175 UF, FSU, Texas, LSU

Ananias Walker, 6'1 185 Arizona, Cal, Washington, Colorado St

Joshua Lair, 6'1 190 Texas, Baylor, LSU, Washington

The local kids, they want to see 3-4 games worth of senior film on. Sanders is relatively new to football and will be committing to Evan Cooper and Nebraska soon. Howard still has a great chance to be in this class. They like the measurables. Philostin is a guy I think they need to take a hard look at. Cummings and Watkins are in-state names to watch. Cummings has been on campus multiple times, With Watkins, the tea leaves say there's some circumstances going on. They really like him. Black is a longshot out of Texas. Miami is in it for Laulea. Decision probably won't be until later in the year. Mack and Walker are out of state names to watch. Mack has been CB'd to Texas but hasn't committed yet. Patterson is who he is. Season starts this week, so maybe he commits soon. Mincey wants to play CB and Miami is willing to allow him to start out there. Dallas is a kid they like and they need numbers at the position. He will be getting more P5 offers, some schools want to see senior film first. Expect that recruitment to pick up tremendously. Lair, just watch the tape. He's a prospect I like a lot.

Devin Scott, 6'1 225 Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina, Kentucky

Lance Taylor Jr, 6'2 215 Indiana, Georgia Tech, Colorado, Nebraska

Marquise Lightfoot, 6'5 225 
Daylen Russell, 6'1 240
Elias Rudolph, 6'4 210

LJ McCray, 6'6 265 UF, FSU, Auburn, Georgia

Booker Pickett Jr, 6'3 210 FSU, Ohio St, Georgia, South Carolina

Tyreek'e Robinson, 6'1 320 USC

Dominick McKinley, 6'5 295 Ohio St, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M

Ernest Willor Jr, 6'4 255 Ohio St, Maryland, Penn St

McCray is an instate and SEC battle. His dad is a coach and it may just come down to connection here. Pickett has fit questions as he projects more as a 3/4 Outside Backer, however they are recruiting him intently and feel he could be a designated pass rusher in the system. Robinson is a name to file away as a possible 1-technique. Some P5 schools are waiting to see the first few games of senior tape. Stone is committing soon and Miami feel like they are in the thick of it. Breland is committing soon also, they feel like they have a chance here too. Their selling the depth chart and early playing time. Edwards is a name to watch in the fall. There's been a flirtation on both sides for awhile. Houston is committing soon and will probably commit to Ohio St. He along with McKinley and Willor are names I'm told Miami my press on during the fall once they see what happens with Stone and Breland. Willor played at IMG last year, he transferred back to Maryland for his senior year.

Summer Review- OL's

OL: Deryc Plazz, 6'5 290 Committed

Juan Minaya, 6'6 340 Committed

Nino Francavilla, 6'3 295 Committed

Kavion Broussard, 6'6 280 Committed

Jordan Seaton, 6'5 290 Alabama, UF, FSU, South Carolina

Eddy Pierre-Louis, 6'3 340 UCF, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon

Brandon Baker, 6'5 290 Ohio St, Texas, Georgia, USC

Guerby Lambert, 6'6 285 Notre Dame, Boston Coll, Ohio St, Harvard

Grant Brix, 6'6 285 Kansas St, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Alabama

Daniel Akinkunmi, 6'5 315 Baylor, Oklahoma

With 4 committed, it looks like they'll take one more. With that prospect probably being an interior lineman such as EPL, Akinkunmi, or Seaton. If Baker wanted that spot, it would be hard to say no. 2 names I wanted Miami to take more of a look at were Lambert and Brix.

Looking Ahead to '25

Kaden Strayhorn, 6'3 290 IMG Academy

Solomon Thomas, 6'3 280 Jacksonville Raines

David Sanders, 6'6 260 (Providence Day School) Charlotte, NC

Summer Review- WR's & TE's

 WR: JoJo Trader, 6'1 180 Committed

Chance Robinson, 6'2 195 Committed

Jordyn Bridgewater, 6'0 175 UCF, Boston Coll, Indiana, Iowa St

Ryan Wingo, 6'2 210 Michigan, Georgia, Missouri, Texas

Micah Hudson, 6'0 195 Texas Tech, Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M

Drelon Miller, 6'0 195 Texas A&M Commit

Andre Thompson, 5'8 155 Arizona St, Arkansas, Kentucky, Ole Miss

TE: Elija Lofton, 6'2 225 Committed

Amir Jackson, 6'4 225 UF Commit

Tayvion Galloway, 6'5 235 Purdue, UCF

Roger Saleapaga, 6'4 200 Baylor, Tennessee, UCLA, Auburn

Caleb Odom, 6'5 220 Alabama Commit

Bridgewater is a name to watch as a WR/CB prospect. Wingo is the big fish that Miami will continue to recruit this cycle. Right now, he's leaning to staying home, but recruiting is fluid. Hudson is a name that Miami could get more involved with. Miller, Jackson, and Odom are guys that Miami will continue to try and flip. Thompson is name to watch if they decide to look at a smaller slot type. Galloway will most likely pay a visit and they'll continue to stay in it with Saleapaga. 

Look Ahead to '25

WR: Kamare Williams, 6'3 180 Chaminade-Madonna

Naeshaun Montgomery, 6'0 165 Cardinal Newman

Cortez Mills, 6'1 175 Homestead

Waden Charles, 6'2 190 Palm Beach Central

Caleb Cunningham, 6'3 185 (Choctaw County) Ackerman, MS

Daylan McCutcheon, 6'0 180 (Lovejoy) Lucas, TX

TE: T'Andre Waverly, 6'4 230 (Kamiak) Mukilteo, WA

Kaleb Edwards, 6'6 230 (Oak Ridge) El Dorado Hills, CA

Emaree Winston, 6'2 240 (Calhoun) GA

Ethan Barbour, 6'3 220 (Alpharetta) GA

Brock Schott, 6'3 220 (Leo) IN

Absolute crazy amount of talent at WR and the defensive backfield for the 25 cycle in South Florida. Cunningham is from Cody Woodiel country. Waverly is one of the top kids in the Northwest for the 25 cycle. There are other names, but these are the ones I'm focused on right now.

Summer Review- QB's and RB's

QB: Judd Anderson, 6'6 215 Committed

RB: Kevin Riley, 5'11 200 Committed

Chris Wheatley- Humphrey, 6'0 180 Committed

At QB, I feel Miami will take one in this class and shoot for the moon in the portal for a top line talent. At RB, Miami is done. They'll have to fend off teams for Riley, but he seems locked in. CWH gives some position versatility, but he's expected to stay at RB. Numbers at the position allows to redshirt a prospect like him.

Look Ahead at '25

QB: Luke Nickel, 6'2 210 (Milton) Alpharetta, GA Committed

RB: Byron Louis, 5'10 185 (American Heritage), FL

Jordon Davison, 5'11 205 (Mater Dei) Santa Ana, CA

Harlem Berry, 5'11 180 (St. Martin's Episcopal) Metairie, LA

Alvin Henderson, 5'10 185 (Elba), AL

Deondrae Riden, 5'10 200 (DeSoto) TX

With the recruiting calendar essentially pushed up, Miami locked in their QB for the '25 class. This is purely a Dawson eval. Props to Mario for allowing his OC to get the prospect that he wanted. At RB, Louis is a priority from a hotbed school. I named some OOS RB's because of the Canes willingness to recruit on a national scale and shoot their shot at the best prospects in the country.
