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.

North Carolina, Bill Belichick Receive Disappointing Recruiting News
North Carolina, Bill Belichick Receive Disappointing Recruiting News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. First-year North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick is attempting to adjust to college football recruiting after a historic NFL career. Advertisement It's, perhaps, the biggest challenge for Belichick in his first ever coaching role in the collegiate ranks. The 2026 class will be Belichick's first full recruiting cycle after taking over for College Football Hall of Famer Mack Brown in January. UNC finished 38th nationally with 30 signees in Brown's final class of 2025. Belichick and general manager Michael Lombardi have made an early splash in the 2026 cycle, holding 15 commits and the nation's No. 16 class. However, the recruiting trail can be a chaotic space, and the Tar Heels received some disappointing news over the weekend. North Carolina Tar Heels new head coach Bill BelichickJim Dedmon-Imagn Images Four-star wide receiver O'Mari Johnson, who committed to UNC on April 6, has reportedly backed off his pledge and re-opened his recruitment, according to On3's Chad Simmons. Advertisement Johnson (6-foot, 183 pounds) plays for Jackson Academy in Wesson, Mississippi. He ranks as the No. 26 wide receiver and the No. 14 player in the state (Rivals). Johnson has amassed 129 catches for over 2,000 yards with 28 receiving touchdowns dating back to his eighth grade year. The talented athlete also has 896 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns at tailback, per MaxPreps. The Tar Heels initially earned Johnson's commitment after he took an official visit to Chapel Hill on April 4. The silver lining for Belichick and Co. is UNC is expected to remain a top contender, according to the report. Johnson has official visits scheduled to Tulane (June 12) and Mississippi State (June 20).
