Miami has the 13th-ranked 2025 class with 21 committed players per 247Sports entering the Early National Signing Period which begins on Wednesday and runs through Friday. Miami is on pace to sign a top 15 class for the third cycle full cycle under Mario Cristobal.
Cristobal was hired just before the Early National Signing Period for the 2022 class in December 2021. Miami signed the 16th best 2022 class per the 247Sports Composite rankings. Cristobal was able to sign multiple prospects during the ENSP and the traditional signing period in February.
The 2025 Miami class is led by four four-star signees in the secondary. Cornerbacks Jaborree Antoine, Chris Ewald and Amari Wallace are expected to boost the Miami secondary in the future. Miami also signed four-star safety Bryce Fitzgerald in the 2025 class.
Luke Nickel is a consensus four-star prospect who will instantly become the highest ranked quarterback on the Miami roster. Quarterback is also a position to watch for Miami to potentially add in the transfer portal. Miami likes its roster of QBs, but there is not a lot of experienced QBs on the 2025 Miami roster.
Nickel was the first 2025 Miami signee on Wednesday. Nickel is the 257th prospect, 23rd QB and 38th player in Georgia in the 2025 class. Initially a three-star prospect, Nickel has risen up the rankings in the last year. Nickel completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 9,454 99 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in his high school career.
