Miami football could lead for 2 5-star 2023 prospects with Josh Gattis hire
The hiring of offensive coordinator Josh Gattis from Michigan by the Miami football program on Sunday will make the Hurricanes the hard to beat for five-stars, wide receiver Jalen Brown and put them in a good place for quarterback Dante Moore according to Andrew Ivins of 247 Sports. Miami is slowly putting its staff together.
The Hurricanes currently have three-star WRs Andy Jean and Lamar Seymore committed to the Class of 2023. Brown is the third-highest prospect on the Miami list according to 247 Sports. The 247 Sports composite rankings have Brown as the 33rd ranked player, fifth WR and ninth player in Florida in 2023.
Moore, out of Detroit is the seventh player, third QB and number one in Michigan in the Class of 2023. The hiring of Gattis should provide the Miami football program with a presence in the Midwest. Brown is currently warm on Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Penn State according to 247.
There are five top 100 players at WR in Florida in the Class of 2023. Three of those WRs are from South Florida, Brandon Inniss from American Heritage in Fort Lauderdale is the top WR in the Class of 2023, Brown is from Gulliver Prep and four-star Hykeem Williams is the 11th ranked WR from Stranahan in Fort Lauderdale.
I would think Josh Gattis to Miami is going to make Miami pretty hard to beat for 5-star WR Jalen Brown. Could also see Hurricanes zeroing in on 5-star QB Dante Moore as the guy next cycle. Florida is loaded at WR in ‘23 – getting an OC that can recruit was big for Mario.

Miami head coach Mario Cristobal discussed the emphasis he places on recruiting during his National Signing Day press conference on Wednesday. Gattis is an elite recruiter. The players Gattis has helped sign in his coaching career averaged 4.4 stars and he was key in signing five-star players at Alabama and Penn State.

Gattis has also been adept as a recruiter. The average rating for players Gattis has helped sign received 4.4 stars. Gattis was able to secure five-star signees at Alabama and Penn State. Cristobal has frequently repeated the importance of having a staff willing to work hard in recruiting. That showed with the 2022 Miami class.
