The Miami Hurricanes moved into the lead for three notable 2027 targets.

Offensive lineman Sean Tatum

Per Rivals, Miami owns an 84.2% RPM lead, well ahead of Auburn, Florida and Tennessee. He has official visits set for Miami on May 29, Florida on June 4, Tennessee on June 12 and Auburn on June 19.

Defensive lineman Xavier Muhammad

Miami leads for Muhammad but this one looks much more open. Rivals puts the Hurricanes first at 28.8%, with Houston, TCU and Arizona State all still very much alive.
