<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Miami Hurricanes continue to build on the momentum gained from last year's national championship game appearance with another impressive recruiting class in 2027. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Per usual, there is a strong presence hailing from South Florida. Here is a look at the talent the Canes were able to keep home thus far in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2138808"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a676602075f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Palm Beach County talent is a hybrid defender who can play both linebacker and safety at a high level. He explodes quickly off of the edge and takes down ball carriers with aggression. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dawson sets the edge well and takes good angles when pursuing the football. He does well in disguising his blitzes and will likely be used to confuse offenses on third down on the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other Offers: Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Pitt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19655011/68feb9dcad5c89f57c950dbf">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19655011/68feb9dcad5c89f57c950dbf</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1671175"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a676602076c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The versatile tight end is an ideal target for a quarterback and is tough to bring down in the open field. He is a nightmare for defenders in one-on-one situations as he wins 50/50 balls more often than not. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DeRoche is deadly out wide or from the traditional tight end position. He is a much-improved blocker and uses his strength to drive defenders out of the play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other Offers: Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22537928/6934c0295041c9a57411edca">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22537928/6934c0295041c9a57411edca</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1671162"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6766020775a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gourdine is an instinctual player who is destined to make big-time plays on the next level. He displays strong balance when defending and with the football in his hands on kick returns. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He projects as a nickel corner who can also play the boundary if needed. Gourdine is excellent in press coverage, and he is the type of feisty corner that coaches want on their team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Other Offers: Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nebraska</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19927374/69363e89ea0d31db0393c06e">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19927374/69363e89ea0d31db0393c06e</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2137678"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a676602077e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The premier safety is as athletic as they come from South Florida. Hyppolite trusts his eyes and instincts and runs to the football with conviction to tackle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After interceptions, Hyppolite is dangerous with the football and will always be a threat to score. The two-way player has above-average ball skills, and his work at receiver will only help him be a better defensive back. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other Offers: Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19428607/690a049f4a2a7c939d714ebe">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19428607/690a049f4a2a7c939d714ebe</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1868200"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a67660207869"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson only played four games last season due to injury, but his frame is plenty to build upon on the next level. The athletic defensive end is a wrecking ball with plenty of speed off the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Conch closes in on ball carriers quickly and is nearly impossible to stop if not engaged in a block. He has a nice combination of speed and power, and his versatility will make him a hot commodity for college coaches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other Offers: Florida, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, Pitt, UCF</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/21285299/68d9ee399205bad6cb06fed4">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/21285299/68d9ee399205bad6cb06fed4</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1671157"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a676602078e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The crafty safety makes quarterbacks pay for mistakes. Jones can play in the box or cancel deep throws with his high football IQ and athletic ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the run game, "J4" detonates like a heat-seeking missile and hits with power.
