The Miami Hurricanes\u2019 2027 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best in school history.<\/p>\n
But on Wednesday, the Hurricanes landed a pair of commitments for their recruiting class beyond this current cycle.<\/p>\n
The two pledges: Class of 2028 four-star offensive lineman Kweli Fielder and Class of 2029 quarterback CJ Cypher, cousins from Carrollton, Georgia.<\/p>\n
Fielder is ranked as the No. 3 interior offensive lineman and No. 59 overall prospect nationally for the Class of 2028, according to the 247Sports composite ranking. He\u2019s listed at 6-4 and 310 pounds, holds offers from 35 schools and is a Navy All-American who was Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman at the Navy National Combine.<\/p>\n
Cypher is not rated by 247Sports, but he holds more than 30 college offers \u2014 Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Ohio State are among that group. As a freshman at Carrollton, Cypher threw for 2,280 yards with 26 touchdowns and four interceptions while completing 71.6% of his passes.<\/p>\n
Fielder is the second commitment in Miami\u2019s Class of 2028, joining quarterback Knox Annis. Cypher is the first pledge in Miami\u2019s 2029 class.<\/p>\n
