EDGE Asharri Charles rises 99 spots in final Rivals 2026 update

Charles had a monster junior season: 107 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks and two forced fumbles, plus all-state first-team honors, as Venice won Florida's 7A state championship. He also had 98 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks as a sophomore.

Nationally, Charles has been hovering in that top-200 range across services for a while. Now, he's a top-20 edge prospect across the Rivals Industry Rankings, 247Sports and ESPN.

Charles picked the Hurricanes over a list of other big programs that included Florida, LSU, Florida State, Texas A&M, and Penn State, among others.

Miami's 2026 football recruiting class

The Hurricanes signed 30 high school prospects and rank in the national top 10 on major boards, including No. 11 in the 247Sports composite team rankings and No. 9 in On3's industry comparison, first in the ACC.

Miami's 2027 recruiting class will most likely be another step in the right direction for the program. After a CFP run that saw the Canes come just seven points away from winning the national championship, Miami will be able to sell their message to any recruit in the nation.
