The Miami Hurricanes continue their 2026 recruiting trails as they are listed in the top 12 of four-star recruit Jake Kreul.

The Orlando, Fla. native Kreul told On3’s Hayes Fawcett he also has Florida State, Florida, Tennessee, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Colorado in his top 12 as well.

Kruel is an IMG product —a school the Hurricanes tend to get several top recruits from over the past few years.

The Miami Hurricanes begin to turn their attention to the 2026 class. They already have three commits and currently have the No. 31 class in the country according to 247 Sports. They are ranked No. 13 on On3, so it is hard to judge where they stand but with more blue-ship recruits looking at Miami in a new light, that can easily change.

Class of 2026 Commitments

  1. CB Camdin Portis, 6-foot, 165 lbs. - Charlotte, North Carolina (Committed 10/27/2024)
  2. LB Jordan Campbell, 6-foot-2, 200 lbs. - Opa Locka, Florida (Committed 11/21/2023)
  3. QB Dereon Coleman, 5-foot-11, 165 lbs. - Orlando, Florida (Committed 07/03/2024)
