The Early Signing Period begins on Dec. 20, and the Hurricanes are looking to sign one of the nation’s top recruiting classes.

Miami has 28 players committed in the 2024 class, which is ranked sixth in the nation, and is still trying to add more. UM is also looking to add key players via the transfer portal. 

Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes could add some flourishes to the class before all is said and done, but here is a look at the class as it is currently constructed.

All ratings are from the 247Sports composite rankings.

Judd Anderson, quarterback

Anderson has been one of Miami’s longest-tenured commits, pledging to UM on April 7. The three-star quarterback is ranked 60th at his position and No. 1,062 overall in the country but had a strong final high school season. He completed 74 percent of his passes for 30 touchdowns and seven interceptions with 2,917 yards in 13 games for Warner Robins (Georgia) High.

Markel Bell, offensive line

Bell is the sole junior college commit in the Hurricanes’ class right now. The 6-foot-8, 340-pound tackle from Holmes Community College could compete for a starting role quickly.

Kavion Broussard, offensive line

Broussard is another offensive tackle prospect with promising size. Listed at 6-6 and 276 pounds, the Louisiana native is rated a three-star prospect and the No. 52 offensive tackle in the class.

Ny Carr, wide receiver

Carr backed off a Georgia commitment on Sept. 24 and committed to Miami about two weeks later. The four-star prospect from Georgia is listed as the No. 12 wide receiver and No. 48 player in the 2024 class. He racked up 1,261 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns on 64 catches as a senior.

Carr will play in the All-American Bowl.

Dylan Day, defensive back

Day was another one of the early additions to Miami’s class, committing on April 16. Day, a safety from Southern Lab (La.) who is rated a three-star prospect and the No. 82 safety in the class, had a key pick-six in the state semifinals and helped lead his team to a championship.

Dylan Day sends Southern Lab to the Dome!

Kittens trailed 31-34 with a minute left in the game when the University of Miami commit came up with a pick six against Ouachita Christian. Lab wins 38-34 & will try for a 2nd state title in 3 years! #LHSAA @dylandayy12 @sulsfootball
