Following a weekend visit, Stow (Ohio) Walsh Jesuit Top247 wide receiver Milan Parris committed to Miami on Tuesday night.

The 6-foot-5.5, 205-pounder was previously pledged to Iowa State, but stepped away from the Cyclones this fall after earning offers from Miami, Oklahoma, and Oregon. Now, Parris intends to play his college football in South Florida after spending a few days around the Hurricanes.

“They’re definitely very explosive,” Parris said of Miami’s offense following Miami’s 42-7 win on Saturday night. “They’re not afraid to play freshmen, play young. As long as you know what you’re doing, you’ll be out there.”

Parris’ addition gives the Hurricanes 24 commitments in the Class of 2026. The group ranks No. 12 nationally and No. 1 in the ACC. He is the 16th blue-chip prospect to commit to the program this cycle, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

Miami now holds a commitment from four wide receivers, three of whom are Top247 prospects. Parris (No. 160 overall player, No. 21 wide receiver) joins Vance Spafford (No. 131 overall player, No. 13 wide receiver), Somourian Wingo (No. 175 overall player, No. 23 wide receiver), and Tyran Evans.

As a senior, Parris totaled 40 catches for 651 yards and nine touchdowns in eight games.

Miami’s class is headlined by Nixa (MO) five-star offensive lineman Jackson Cantwell and Clovis (Cali.) Top100 tight end Israel Briggs. 

Orlando (Fla.) Jones quarterback Dereon Coleman is the Hurricanes’ signal-caller this cycle.

247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins compares Parris to Miami native and former Iowa State standout Jayden Higgins.

– Imposing outside receiver with all the physical tools to bake into a touchdown machine on Saturdays and then potentially Sundays.
– Stands tall at over 6-foot-5 and owns one of the best size-speed combinations in the class as he has gone 4.54 on the lasers in the 40-yard dash at close to 200 pounds.
– Establishes leverage with both his acceleration and power as he will go through or around defensive backs while charging up or across the field.
– Offers up a monster catch radius not only with his length, but also his jumps and coordination as he can turn 50-50 balls into easy rebounds.
– Treats blocking like its a necessity and will drive defenders into the turf as he works to open up run lanes for teammates.
– Only caught 28 passes as a junior, but averaged 21.3 yards per reception and flipped the switch early on in senior season while matched up against future Power Four corners.
– Must keep perfecting his craft and expanding the route tree, but is the type of hulking X that can command targets in any system after a short developmental period.
