I am hearing that Miami offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson has strong interest in LSU commit Colin Hurley and a push for a flip may have begun. Spoke to some people around LSU during the 7v7 season and was hearing that the staff was not as on board with the addition of the reclassified Hurley as quarterback coach Joe Sloan, who I've heard is all in on the Florida native. That could make things interesting by the end of the year if LSU has the same success as last year or better, as Sloan could be one of the popular head coach candidates in the next coaching turnover of college football.
Miami has been quiet on the front of quarterback recruiting, seemingly content with the idea of just bringing in three-star, high potential passer Judd Anderson in this class. The push for Hurley is not something new, though. Head coach Mario Cristobal had built a good relationship with Hurley prior to his commitment to LSU and the Trinity Christian passer had been on campus several times over the last couple year. On top of that, he and his family have Miami ties, originally living down here in South Florida. Last season, I got a chance to speak to Hurley before he reclassified and he spoke about those roots and his relationship with Miami. "It's great. I'm originally from Miami," said Hurley about his relationship with the Canes. "Honestly, my relationship with the staff is amazing. I came down there for the Legends Camp and was the highest rated quarterback there according to the coaches. They let me know I was the priority for them in 2025.”
The development of him potentially flipping is not likely to happen quickly, but with Dawson picking up interest and a prior relationship with his South Florida ties - plus the seemingly odd dynamic of his take at LSU - make him an interesting QB prospect for Miami heading into the summer.
