Other Standout Players:

Under the radar prospect that will make noise in seven-on-seven this season. He constantly got open and made plays in space with reliable hands.

Jabari Brady has all the tools to become the number one wide receiver in the 2026 class, an outstanding talent that was wearing an Ohio State shirt at the end of camp.

Another outstanding talent. Miami is in contact here, but prying him away from Ohio State will be tough. Solid with the Buckeyes right now, but Miami is starting to push.

The FSU commit likes his relationship with Miami but the Hurricanes taking Luke Nickel obviously was a factor in further communication. He was the best quarterback at the tryouts and is Jamie Ffrench's teammate.

Coleman was close to being the best quarterback had plenty well-thrown balls on the day.

The young talent was impressive, and he has the potential to be the best quarterback in the country for his class.

There weren't many standout DBs, but Gachelin is certainly a player to monitor this offseason.

He is another highly talented young player who will likely be in his class's top ten in the state and could garner national attention.

FSU suing ACC, should Miami still attempt an exit from the conference?

According to reports, FSU will take legal action against the conference to challenge the grant of rights and $130 million withdrawal fee. Reports indicate that it would cost the program $572 million to get out of the ACC

Statement from ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D., and Jim Ryan, Chair of the ACC Board of Directors, on Florida State’s Board of Trustees Meeting​



“Florida State’s decision to file action against the Conference is in direct conflict with their longstanding obligations and is a clear violation of their legal commitments to the other members of the Conference. All ACC members, including Florida State, willingly and knowingly re-signed the current Grant of Rights in 2016, which is wholly enforceable and binding through 2036. Each university has benefited from this agreement, receiving millions of dollars in revenue and neither Florida State nor any other institution, has ever challenged its legitimacy.



“As a league, we are proud of the successes of our student-athletes and that the ACC has won the most NCAA National Championships over the past two and half years while also achieving the highest graduation success and academic performance rates among all FBS conferences, so it is especially disappointing that FSU would choose to pursue this unprecedented and overreaching approach.



“We are confident that the Grant of Rights, which has been honored by all other universities who signed similar agreements, will be affirmed by the courts and the Conference’s legal counsel will vigorously enforce the agreement in the best interests of the ACC’s current and incoming members.”

Miami impresses transfer

Miami is in a good position to land transfer Zach Carpenter. Miami impressed Carpenter over the weekend, and Miami is in an excellent position to add the veteran center.

The Ohio native has one year of eligibility left. According to PFF, he earned season-blocking grades of 71.2 against the pass and 61 against the run in 2023 with Indiana.

Carpenter may make an announcement as soon as Monday.

I like Miami here...

Miami is in a position to flip multiple prospects on signing day Wednesday.

Miami hosted several prospects this weekend, which started with a dinner with the recruits, and then the players watched the first practice for the Pinstripe Bowl.

Four prospects to watch going into Wednesday are Armondo Blount, Jordan Lyle, Xavier Lucas, and Adarius Hayes, all committed to other Power Five programs.

CanesCounty.com was the first to break the possibility of Miami flipping Blount back to Miami. There is an excellent chance Blount will stay home as he chose to visit Miami this weekend instead of Tallahassee.

Prediction - signs with Miami

Miami has been pushing for Lyle hard for about a good two months now, and with rumors of Kevin Riley flipping to Alabama, landing Lyle could grow more vital.

Prediction - signs with Miami

Login to view embedded media
Miami needs defensive back help and would love to continue building a pipeline from the local American Heritage High School that recently produced James Williams and Damari Brown. The option to stay home is appealing to Lucas, but there is the option to stay loyal to Wisconsin. According to Lucas the contact has not been consistent throughout his recruiting process, which could be a determining factor.

Prediction - 50/50

With Vincent Shavers no longer signing with Miami, there is a void in the class at linebacker.

Prediction - 75/25 to Miami

Miami made a great impression on all who visited this weekend, and I would not be surprised if Miami all four signed with Miami on Wednesday.

Miami making a good impression with Cam Ward


Ward is scheduled to visit Florida State but Miami seems to be at the top of the list right now.

If Ward chooses Miami he would be playing in an AIr Raid offense that he has been playing in his entire college career.

He should be making a decision in about a week or so.

Defensive Tackle C.J. Clark is officially visiting Miami, according to sources.
