Approximately 20 2025 prospects and seven in the Class of 2026 are listed among the visitors this weekend.
John Garcia of Rivals.Com profiled several Miami prospects in his “Tampa Bay High School Media Day Recruiting Notebook.” Garcia mentioned 2024 guard Eddy Pierre-Louis and weakside defensive end Booker Pickett. Neither Pierre-Louis or Pickett are currently trending to other programs per Rivals.Com.
Earlier this week the Miami Hurricanes defensive line was ranked ninth nationally by Pro Football Focus. Interior defensive lineman Leonard Taylor and edge defender Akheem Mesidor were named first-team All-ACC by PFF. Taylor was praised for his 19.5 percent pass-rush win rate and a 16.2 percent pressure rate in 2022.
Edge rusher Jahfari Harvey was mentioned by PFF for having a “respectable” 76.2 overall grade. PFF seemed impressed with the depth Miami has on the DL with Jared Harrison-Hunte, Branson Deen and Thomas Gore all competing for snaps next to Taylor. Gore has had an exceptional 90.7 grade since 2021 while at Georgia State.
