Following a 10-3 season, the best finish for the historic program since 2017, Cristobal and Co. have built some notable momentum within the high school ranks.<\/p>\n

Miami entered Tuesday with 11 commitments and the ninth ranked class<\/a> nationally before landing a pair of four-stars in one day.<\/p>\n

Offensive lineman Canon Pickett kicked things off<\/a>, committing to the Hurricanes as the No. 13 player at his position and the No. 37 player in the state of Florida (Tampa Bay Tech), per Rivals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miami beat out in-state rival Florida for Pickett (6-foot-5, 290 pounds), who previously scheduled a visit to Florida for this weekend ahead of an official visit to the Hurricanes on June 20.<\/p>\n

Less than three hours after Pickett’s announcement, Miami received more good news, landing four-star defensive lineman Tyson Bacon over Florida, Georgia and Ohio State.<\/p>\n

Bacon (6-foot-4, 260 pounds) was previously committed to Tennessee before backing off his pledge on April 23 and re-opening his recruitment. He visited Miami over the weekend and apparently liked what he learned.<\/p>\n

The Hoover (Alabama) High School product ranks as the No. 3 defensive lineman, the No. 5 player in the state and the No. 60 overall recruit.<\/p>\n

With Pickett and Bacon in the fold, the Hurricanes rose one spot to No. 8 nationally, including the nation’s top recruit in five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell and eight four-star recruits.<\/p>\n

The momentum gained over the last couple of months certainly paints a promising picture for where Miami will stand from a talent perspective moving forward.<\/p>\n
