Miami (FL) Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes continue to make the cut of top 10 running back Jae Lamar as he narrows his list of schools to six. The 6-foot, 205 lbs. running back from Moultrie, GA is ranked as a Top 10 back in the 2026 class.

He also lists rivals Florida State, Georgia, Auburn, Clemson, and Ohio State alongside Miami as he continues to narrow his list down.

Lamar is one of the quickest running backs for his size. He moves quickly and has a special twitch that makes him hard to tackle as well. Using his talent behind the offensive line that the Miami Hurricanes are consistently improving to turn into an NFL farming system, any recruit would love the idea of coming in and running through those gaps.

As Lamar narrows his list, the Hurricanes have another running back already committed, Javian Mallory. Now, the Canes will also continue to target some of the best runners in the country as they improve their recruiting class.
