Is Rueben Bain Jr. Draft Stock in Danger?: First Alert

The Miami Hurricanes gear up for one of the best draft classes in recent memory, however with two weeks until the 2026 NFL Draft, one Cane is under fire after a closed chapter had been reopened again.

Rueben Bain Jr. is one of the best players ahead of this 2026 class and one of the best defensive players. However, even with the best of them, some have skeletons in the closet, and the biggest one for Bain has resurfaced.

In resurfaced news from The Read Optional, details of a crash from 2024 have been revealed. Bain was cleared, but with the draft a few days away, stories like this also pop up, even if NFL teams had already had prior knowledge of the event.

Bain is projected as one of two Hurricanes who could be taken in the first round. Bain could be one of the first five or find a way to slip down. However, with this news, he could fall further down than where he is currently projected.

Most will expect this to go away within a week; however, history can be funny with these sensitive topics and conversations. The NFL Draft is less than two weeks away, and most will have their lives changed.
