But inside the building, there never was any panic, just hard work.<\/p>\n
Miami struck back Sunday by flipping CB Ai\u2019King Hall<\/a> from Oregon. He\u2019s a lock down cover corner with size and length, verified speed and elite skills.\u00a0He has a 78-inch wingspan and a 10.8 100M time and adds value as kick returner. Hall had two kickoff returns for touchdowns and also took back one interception.<\/p>\n Then Miami landed EDGE\u00a0Jayvon Dawson\u00a0<\/a>from West Palm Beach Santaluces, a 16-year-old who impressed Miami coaches enough to take a shot on him despite his youth.<\/p>\n Now the Hurricanes could be on the verge of a little run the next seven days as they get ready for their massive May 29 visit weekend.<\/p>\n Notre Dame may have won with both Folorunsho and OL Oluwasemilore Olubobola<\/a> \u2014 but buried in the emotions of last week is also one of the biggest wins of the cycle: Donte Wright,<\/a> the No. 8 overall prospect and No. 2 CB in the country, flipped from Georgia to Miami, pushing the class to No. 5 then and now No. 6 nationally.<\/p>\n The focus now shifts from disappointment to response. If anything, the staff has become even more aggressive heading into summer visits.<\/p>\n In addition to reeling in Hall and Dawson, Miami spent the weekend continuing to push aggressively for priority targets like Jatori Williams<\/a>, AJ Randle<\/a>, Jarrell Chandler<\/a> and Tre Moore<\/a> while also continuing to expand and adjust the defensive line board.<\/p>\n The class now has three five-star commits: Israel Abrams<\/a> (QB), Nick Lennear<\/a> (WR), and Wright (CB). That\u2019s the story heading into the most important month of the cycle.<\/p>\n INSIDE THE RECRUITMENTS<\/p>\n Miami\u2019s staff continues to believe the overall offensive line class can still be elite despite missing on Matthews. The Hurricanes remain extremely confident in Alex Mirabal\u2019s ability to close on multiple remaining trench targets.<\/p>\n Defensively, Miami is continuing to prioritize length, versatility and developmental upside as the board evolves following the misses on Folorunsho and Muhammad.<\/p>\n TRENDING<\/p>\n Jatori Williams \u2014 Miami remains in very strong position despite Alabama\u2019s late push and the decision timeline extending into July. The Hurricanes built strong momentum with Williams throughout the spring evaluation period, particularly after multiple in-person stops from Alex Mirabal. Miami\u2019s staff still feels very good about where things stand with Williams despite the extended timeline and continues prioritizing him as one of the top offensive line targets on the board. But Alabama\u2019s re-entry into the race does add another layer of complexity.<\/p>\n AJ Randle<\/a> \u2014 The Hurricanes continue trending upward with one of the nation\u2019s top linebackers heading toward decision time. This one is looking real good. <\/p>\n Jarrell Chandler \u2014 Miami has made this a very real battle with Tennessee for the versatile defender. The Vols have controlled the race but the Hurricanes have surged late along with Clemson with a decision expected today. Hurricanes Defensive Coordinator Corey Heatherman has played a major role in Miami\u2019s surge. He was in on Thursday to meet with Chandler and his plan in the defense has Chandler\u2019s attention. The Hurricanes view Chandler, who measures around 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, as a linebacker at the next level. Clemson likes him as a safety, the position he plays in high school.<\/p>\n BATTLES<\/p>\n Tre Moore \u2014 Washington currently carries momentum, but Miami\u2019s May 29 official visit will be critical.<\/p>\n Marquis Evans<\/a> \u2014 Miami continues battling Auburn and Florida for one of the top remaining interior defensive linemen on the board.<\/p>\n Jordan Karhoff <\/a>\u2014 Miami remains firmly in the mix with the talented Ohio tight end heading into official visits.<\/p>\n WATCH LIST<\/p>\n S Andre Hyppolite<\/a>, 4\u2605 \u00b7 COMMIT EXPECTED SOON, On3 RPM 96.8% \u00b7 Staff closing hard<\/p>\n LB Kaden Henderson<\/a>, 4\u2605, A&M PERCEIVED LEAD for No. 1 LB nationally \u00b7 OV season decides this<\/p>\n DT Jamar Thompson<\/a>, 4\u2605, MIAMI LEADING, Rivals RPM 50.8% \u00b7 Final 4: UM, Auburn, Mich, OSU<\/p>\n EDGE Jaiden Bryant<\/a>, 5\u2605, OV MAY 29 for LSU commit \u00b7 Jason Taylor involved<\/p>\n OT Joshua Sam-Epelle<\/a>, 4\u2605, HEAVY CANE ATTENTION, Mirabal working hard post-Olubobola<\/p>\n CB Gabriel Osborne Jr.<\/a>, 4\u2605, MIAMI IN TOP 4<\/p>\n EDGE DJ Jacobs,<\/a> 5, FLIP ATTEMPT, Ohio State commit but Miami continuously investing<\/p>\n LB Ba\u2019Roc Willis<\/a>, 4\u2605, Internal confidence high<\/p>\n LB Noah Glover<\/a>, 4\u2605, MIAMI AT THE TOP, Multiple Hetherman contacts<\/p>\n RB Brayden Tyson<\/a>, 4\u2605, OV JUNE 5, Complement to Ty Keys<\/p>\n NEXT TO POP<\/p>\n![\"Jatori](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/JAT-1024x538.jpg\")
