Earlier this month, the Miami Hurricanes football program got some incredible news, with 5-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell revealing the Canes are among his finalists. The same can now be said for another 5-star playmaker.
On Thursday, wide receiver Tristen Keys revealed via On3's Hayes Fawcett that he will be taking official visits to six schools. Thankfully for Mario Cristobal, Miami is one of the programs that will be getting an OV from the nation's No. 1 wide receiver in the country. Fans are fired up over this news and rightfully so:

5-star WR Tristen Keys will take an official visit to Miami
The date for Keys to visit Miami is yet to be finalized, but this is still a huge deal for the ACC powerhouse. The Canes aren't the only school in contention to land his signature next December, however, as LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn and Texas A&M will also land an OV.
Ole Miss is also a team to keep an eye out here, as Keys has high interest in the Rebels - he's a Mississippi native. As for Miami, the long list of recruits setting up their officials to Miami continues to grow, which is of course great to see.
Spring ball is around the corner and countless prospects will be making their way to campus to see what the program is all about. Star quarterback Carson Beck will miss the practice sessions due to his recovery from elbow surgery, but he'l be ready to help Cristobal out with the recruiting efforts.
Miami is also expected to see star quarterback Cam Ward taken with the No. 1 overall pick. We don't have to tell you that's going to be a massive recruiting tool for the program as well. All in all, the hype surrounding this team is quite high, which is something that Keys and other 5-star targets have surely taken notice of.
