Cristobal winning in the Sunshine State
Being located where they are, recruiting the best talent out of Florida has been a must for head coach Mario Cristobal and his class.
After landing the nation’s No. 6 class in the 2024 cycle, the Hurricane’s top-10 2025 class heavily features several in-state prospects.
Of Miami’s 22 pledges, 14 come from the Sunshine State.
The group is highlighted by a trio of top-100 recruits. That includes Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) defensive lineman Seuseu Alofaituli, IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) linebacker Gavin Nix and four-star athlete Hylton Stubbs out of Mandarin High School in Jacksonville.
