Israel Abrams, a highly touted 2027 quarterback prospect, recently visited the University of Miami as the Hurricanes look to bolster their future quarterback room. Abrams, who led his high school team to a state title as a junior, has drawn interest from several top college programs thanks to his strong arm and size at 6-foot-4 and at least 190 pounds.

Why it matters

Miami has had success recruiting and developing top quarterback talent in recent years, and landing a prospect like Abrams could continue that trend. The Hurricanes are looking to build on their recent success and compete for ACC and national championships, and adding a blue-chip quarterback like Abrams could be a key piece of that puzzle.

The details

Abrams is privately coached by former Minnesota Golden Gopher Mike Hohensee, and while Minnesota was an early contender for Abrams, the blue-blood programs have started to take notice of the talented 2027 prospect. Miami hosted Abrams on a visit this week, and the Hurricanes have reportedly picked up the pace in their recruitment of the quarterback. Abrams knows he isn't the only signal-caller the Hurricanes are targeting in this cycle, so a decision could come sooner rather than later.

  • Abrams led Montini Catholic (IL) to a state title as a junior in 2025.
  • Abrams visited Miami this week as the Hurricanes ramp up their recruitment of the 2027 prospect.
