Miami has the nation's highest average recruit rating
Miami owns the highest average player rating of any class in the country at 91.58. That puts the Hurricanes ahead of Ohio State at 91.47, Notre Dame at 91.40 and Texas A&M at 91.38 in the current Rivals Industry team rankings. Texas A&M remains No. 1 in the overall rankings with a 94.003 team score, followed by Notre Dame at 92.732 and Miami at 92.387.
The Hurricanes are not first in the cumulative team rankings because Texas A&M and Notre Dame have larger groups of commitments.
Rivals Industry ratings combine Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN evaluations, with each service carrying equal weight in the composite.
Cornerback Donte Wright leads the way at No. 10 nationally and No. 2 at his position. Miami Carol City wide receiver Nick Lennear is No. 17 overall and No. 4 at wide receiver. Edge rusher Jaiden Bryant is No. 24 nationally and No. 5 at his position. Quarterback Israel Abrams is No. 39 overall and No. 3 among quarterbacks.
Wright, Lennear, Bryant and Abrams are joined by linebacker A.J. Randle Jr., cornerback Ai'King Hall, interior offensive lineman Jatori Williams, wide receiver Eli Woodard, interior offensive lineman Sean Tatum, safety Andre Hyppolite, defensive lineman Ezekiel Ayangbile and running back Ty Keys inside Rivals Industry's top 200. Miami currently has 12 commitments ranked in that range.
Miami has three five-star commitments and 12 four-star commitments, per Rivals. That gives Mario Cristobal’s staff 15 blue-chip prospects in a 20-player class, or 75% of the group.
Miami has also kept a strong South Florida presence with eight of its 20 commitments being in-state prospects, or 40% of the class.
