The Miami Hurricanes are actively recruiting several top wide receiver prospects, including Julius Jones, Carter Davis, Nick Lennear, Jaden Upshaw, and Kesean Bowman. Jones, a top 100 recruit from Fort Lauderdale, has locked in an official visit to Miami on May 29, while Lennear may shut down his recruitment this spring despite having visits planned to Miami, LSU, and USC. The Hurricanes are also in a good spot with Upshaw and Bowman, who have visits scheduled. Additionally, Miami is still involved with Ohio State commit Jamier Brown and Chicago's Quentin Burrell.
Why it matters
Landing top wide receiver talent is a priority for the Miami Hurricanes as they look to build a championship-caliber offense under head coach Mario Cristobal. Securing commitments from elite pass-catchers like Jones, Lennear, and others would be a major boost for the program's recruiting efforts.
The details
Julius Jones, a top 100 wide receiver from Fort Lauderdale's St. Thomas Aquinas, has locked in his official visit to Miami for May 29, the same date as teammate and Miami defensive back target Zayden Gamble, as well as the Hurricanes' 2027 commits. Jones is a Notre Dame legacy, but Miami and Oregon are believed to be the two schools that can beat out the Fighting Irish for his commitment. Three-star wide receiver Carter Davis from Mobile, Alabama has also set an official visit to Miami for June 5 after recently receiving an offer from the Hurricanes. Top 100 wide receiver Nick Lennear from Miami's Carol City High told reporters that Miami is still at the top of his list, though he may shut down his recruitment this spring before taking planned official visits to Miami, LSU, and USC.
- Julius Jones will make his official visit to Miami on May 29, 2026.
- Carter Davis will make his official visit to Miami on June 5, 2026.
- Nick Lennear may shut down his recruitment this spring, before taking planned official visits.
