Miami Receives Disappointing News On Elite 4-Star In-State Target
Miami Receives Disappointing News On Elite 4-Star In-State Target originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Brandon Bennett is down to three major schools after updating his list on Friday. Advertisement Bennett (6-foot, 170 pounds) plays for high school powerhouse American Heritage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The talented playmaker hauled in 24 passes for 509 yards (21.2-yard average) with seven touchdowns and another score on a kickoff return in 2024. Bennett ranks as the No. 16 receiver, the No. 17 player in the state and the No. 107 recruit overall in his class (ESPN). Bennett is also a star sprinter with a personal best of 10.43 in the 100-meter dash. That speed is an extremely coveted attribute, which has, in part, drawn interest from some of the top college football programs in the country. American Heritage Patriots receiver Brandon Bennett (11)Jonah Hinebaugh/Naples Daily News/USA Today Network-Florida / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Miami and head coach Mario Cristobal have been involved in Bennett's recruitment for some time. The Hurricanes were one of the first programs to offer the in-state wideout in February 2023. Advertisement Bennett received a visit from Cristobal and staff members in January this year before taking an unofficial trip to Miami in February. However, the Hurricanes were left out of Bennett's final three schools in favor of in-state rivals Florida and Florida State, alongside Georgia. Bennett will officially visit Georgia over the weekend before taking official trips to Florida State (June 6) and Florida (June 13). Miami has yet to add a wide receiver to its 2026 class, which ranks No. 7 nationally and first in the ACC. An intriguing race to watch is the recruitment of LSU wide receiver commit Tristen Keys, who is slated to visit the Hurricanes on Friday after previously being on campus on April 12.

Nation's No. 1 QB Reacts To 5-Star Wide Receiver's Visit To Georgia
Nation's No. 1 QB Reacts To 5-Star Wide Receiver's Visit To Georgia originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Georgia is hosting one of the top wide receivers in the country this weekend in hopes for a talented pairing with five-star quarterback commit Jared Curtis. Advertisement Head coach Kirby Smart's biggest recruiting win of the 2026 cycle came when Curtis pledged to the Bulldogs on May 5. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound passer was previously committed to UGA last fall before re-opening his recruitment. Curtis, the top quarterback in the country, was down to Georgia and Oregon before making his latest decision. With Curtis in the fold, attention turns to adding him some weapons. Georgia does have three four-star wide receivers committed to date, but that group would instantly be bolstered by five-star Cederian Morgan. Cederian Morgan, Class of 2026 wide receiver of Benjamin Russell High school in Alexander City, AlabamaKen Ruinard - staff / USA TODAY NETWORK Morgan (6-foot-4, 210 pounds) plays for Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, Alabama. He ranks as the No. 2 wide receiver, the top player in the state and the No. 11 recruit in the 2026 class (On3). Advertisement Home-state SEC power Alabama is projected to land the highly-coveted receiver. However, Georgia is making a push and hosting Morgan this weekend along with multiple elite recruits. After Morgan confirmed his official visit with a post on X, Curtis reacted with a post of his own. Morgan posted 70 catches for 1,162 yards and 14 TD as a junior in 2024. The multi-sport athlete also averaged 14.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per game on the hardwood. Morgan has official visits scheduled to Florida (June 6), Auburn (June 13) and Alabama (June 20) before announcing his commitment on July 2.

Elite LSU WR Commit Addresses Possible Flip to Hated SEC Rival
Elite LSU WR Commit Addresses Possible Flip to Hated SEC Rival originally appeared on Athlon Sports. LSU wide receiver commit Kenny Darby is gaining steam for a potential flip within the SEC. Head coach Brian Kelly and the Tigers logged a key recruiting win when receiving a commitment from Darby, one of the top playmakers in the country, in November. Advertisement Darby (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) plays for Airline High School in Bossier City, Louisiana. He nearly tripled his best previous output as a junior last season, posting 100 catches for 1,764 yards with 24 touchdowns. Darby ranks as the No. 18 player at the position, the No. 6 player in the state and the No. 116 recruit overall in the class of 2026, according to Rivals. After Darby committed early in the process, he shut down his recruitment in January, reaffirming his pledge to LSU as other programs made their pitches. Darby's recruitment doesn't appear to be as simple as Tigers fans would like, though, as he took an official visit to SEC rival Alabama this weekend. And the Crimson Tide must have made quite the impression. Airline High School wide receiver Kenny Karge/The Times / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Darby is reportedly considering a flip to head coach Kalen DeBoer's Alabama program and will make his decision on July 4, according to On3's Hayes Fawcett on Saturday. Advertisement 'I love the coaching staffs a lot," Darby said via On3. "It's going to be hard.' It's not often that a recruit acknowledges another contender has entered the picture without decommiting. Darby took to social media shortly after the news broke and attempted to ease the concerns of LSU faithful. "It's not what it looks like," Darby wrote on X before deleting the post a short time later. While Alabama gaining ground isn't ideal for Kelly and Co., LSU does have the benefit of hosting Darby for his final official visit (June 20) before his decision on July 4. The Tigers currently hold the nation's No. 2 class for 2026, including nine commitments with three of the top receivers in the country.
