Miami Hurricanes land another offensive line prospect in 2026 recruiting battle
More than a week after snagging a commitment from the nation's top offensive tackle, the Miami Hurricanes procured a pledge from another offensive lineman on Saturday when Orlando Boone three-star prospect Rhys Woodrow said he would enroll at Miami next year.
Woodrow, rated by 247 Sports as the No. 72 interior line prospect in the 2026 class, picked UM over FSU, Georgia Tech, UCF, Florida, Stanford and others. At 6-5 and 310 pounds, he can play guard or center. ranks him the No. 98 interior line prospects in the 2026 class.
Woodrow, who also plays baseball, visited UM in March and was scheduled to take an official visit to Miami on June 13. He canceled previously-scheduled official visits with FSU and Stanford.
Of UM's 11 nonbinding commitments for 2026, five are offensive linemen.
UM has seven four-star commitments, three three-star commitments and one five-star commitment in Nixa (Missouri) High's Jackson Cantwell, considered one of the nation's top prospects.
UM's 11 non-binding commitments for 2026 so far are Cantwell, Woodrow, Miami Northwestern linebacker Jordan Campbell, Seffner Armwood cornerback Jaelan Waters, Jonesboro, Ga.-based cornerback Jontavius Wyman, Charlotte, N.C.-based cornerback Camdin Portis, Lakeland Jones High quarterback Dereon Coleman, West Boca High running back Javian Mallory, Ohio-based offensive tackle Ben Congdon, Fort Myers High interior lineman Joel Ervin and Jacksonville-based interior lineman J.J. Sparks.
The Canes also are considered very strong contenders, if not front-runners, for two other offensive linemen -- Bradenton IMG Academy's Brec Kolojay and Tampa Bay Tech's Canon Pickett. That would give UM seven offensive linemen in its 2026 class.
