The momentum continues to build for Miami on the recruiting trail.
The Hurricanes received a major boost on Wednesday when 247Sports recruiting reporter Zach Blostein logged a Crystal Ball prediction for 2028 five-star EDGE Asher Ghioto, giving Miami a 100% Crystal Ball percentage with a confidence level of 6 (Medium).
Ghioto, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound defensive end from The Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida, is considered one of the premier prospects in the entire 2028 recruiting class. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, he is rated as the No. 3 overall player in the nation, the No. 1 EDGE, and the No. 3 player in Florida, making him one of the most talented recruits in the country.
Landing a player of Ghioto’s caliber would be another statement victory for Mario Cristobal and Miami’s recruiting staff. The Hurricanes have made recruiting elite defensive linemen a priority, and adding the nation’s top edge rusher would continue that trend while strengthening an already impressive 2028 class.
If Miami can eventually secure Ghioto’s commitment, it would give the Hurricanes one of the biggest recruiting wins of the 2028 cycle and continue the program’s push to stack elite talent in the trenches under Cristobal. Miami is the team to beat right now.
