The Miami Hurricanes are firmly in the mix for one of the nation’s top defensive prospects, as they’ve been named in the final five schools for the No. 15 ranked defensive lineman in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound wrecking ball has narrowed his list to Miami, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, and Texas — a powerhouse group that reflects just how coveted he is across the country.
This announcement comes after a dominant junior season that saw the lineman rack up double-digit sacks and countless quarterback pressures, earning him All-State honors and invitations to multiple national showcase camps. His blend of size, strength, and explosive first-step quickness has made him a nightmare for opposing offensive lines and a dream prospect for defensive coordinators.
For Miami, landing a talent of this caliber would be a massive statement in their recruiting push under head coach Mario Cristobal. The Hurricanes have been aggressive in rebuilding their defensive front with a mix of young talent and portal additions, but securing a high school blue-chip like this could be a game-changer for the future.
Sources close to the recruitment say Miami has impressed with its player development track record and strong academic support, while defensive line coach Joe Salave’a has built a strong personal relationship with the recruit and his family
