Miami ‘s appearance in the College Football Playoff national championship in January has generated a massive amount of momentum on the recruiting trail for the Hurricanes. They finished last cycle with the No. 8 class in the country , their third in four years under Mario Cristobal.
That kind of talent acquisition — including finding under-the-radar gems — has paid huge dividends in recent years. Miami’s talent now stacks up with some of college football’s premier programs, particularly when you factor in what they’ve done in the transfer portal. On top of their elite recruiting class, the ‘Canes transfer haul included five four-star additions.
None were bigger than Duke quarterback Darian Mensah and former Missouri EDGE Damon Wilson II , both ranked among the top 10 players available in the portal. They’re expected to lead another deep roster next year, but Cristobal and Co. have pivoted from relying quite as heavily on the portal to now prioritizing quality high school classes.
