Mario Cristobal is going in full force in the 2028 recruiting class and if early momentum is any indication, the group promises to be as highly-regarded as the recent classes signed by the Miami Hurricanes.
The top targets are starting to materialize, and the Hurricanes will be adding more at the offensive skill positions — wide receiver, running back and tight end. Miami is already at the top of the list for in-state running back Xander Edwards and another big-time target is 4-star wide receiver Dennis Tua’one.
UPDATE: #Miami has received an early prediction to land 2028 4 ⭐️ WR Dennis Tua’one. The 6’1 185 playmaker out of Provo, Utah is ranked as one of the top 100 players in the 2028 class. Tua’one recently impressed at Miami’s Legends Camp. pic.twitter.com/DrTa6PNwpZ

As much as Cristobal and the staff are known for their incredible work in recruiting trench warriors, there’s no absence of offensive skill in these classes. The 2027 class is a little small on the numbers, but Nick Lennear is a five-star commit from right down the street in Miami Gardens (Carol City High School) and Eli Woodard is another blue-chipper from Southern California. Add those two to four-star running back Ty Keys and the class is strong in quality.

The 2028 class might be a little larger and Cristobal has cast an even wider net for talent. Tua’one plays high school football in Utah, and he’s not the only player from the Beehive State that the Miami staff is targeting, but the blue-chip receiver is very familiar with the Hurricanes program…
