The 2024 Miami football class has commitments from players at every position except technically interior offensive line. Three-star prospects Deryc Plazz and Juan Minaya are listed as offensive tackles but have the potential to move inside in college. There are several positions Miami needs to add more 2024 prospects.
Expect cornerback back, defensive line, OL and wide receiver to be the positions of need that Miami seeks to add more players. Three-star commit Romanas Frederique Jr. is the only CB in the 2024 Miami class. Miami has edge rusher Marquise Lightfoot and DL Atravius Jones and Daylen Russell up front defensively.
Miami has one of the best receiver tandems it has had in the same class for a while. Five-star Joshisa Trader who committed to Miami on Thursday is the highest-rated WR commit to Miami since 2004. Four-star prospect Chance Robinson committed to the Miami football program in June.
Quarterback is another position to watch. Miami currently has a commitment from three-star QB Judd Anderson. If Tyler Van Dyke leaves for the NFL, that would leave Jacurri Brown, 2023 signee Emory Williams and Anderson as the QBs on the Miami roster entering 2024. Miami could sign another QB or add one as a transfer.
The other positions Miami has commitments from are two running backs, one tight end, two linebackers and three safeties. Miami is likely to add more LBs and potentially another TE. Several uncommitted prospects are trending to Miami. Five-star safety Zaquan Patterson is the highest trending uncommitted prospect to Miami.
No players have commitments scheduled who are trending to the Miami football program per the 247 Sports database. Players often announce their commitments without an announcement scheduled ahead of time. The commitment from Trader last week took most recruiting analysts by surprise.
The 2024 Miami recruiting class moved up from 21st to 14th following the commitments from Trader and Jones last week. Expect Miami to continue to move up the recruiting rankings if the players who are trending to the Hurricanes eventually commit. Miami signed the seventh-best 2023 class.
