Alabama hosted Finch for his official visit the weekend of May 30. Michigan and Tennessee also hosted Wilson for official visits.
Anderson is the 938th prospect, 78th CB and 114th player in New Jersey in the 2026 class. Miami was one of six to eight programs to host Anderson for an official visit, depending on the recruiting site. No 247Sports crystal balls are logged for Anderson. Florida is the prohibitive favorite at 84.4 percent for an Anderson commitment.
Mario Cristobal and his staff have Miami trending for their third top 10 class in four recruiting cycles with Miami. The Hurricanes are far from finished, with several high-level blue-chip prospects still considering Miami. Expect more commitments in the next few weeks.
