The Miami Hurricanes announced a new on-campus football facility that could radically improve the football program.

“Proud to announce our new on-campus ‘forever’ home,” the statement read. “The state-of-the-art complex will provide the best necessities & amenities in sports medicine, strength and conditioning, nutrition, sports psychology, and personal branding services.”

With the announcement of the new facility, it could certainly be used as a recruiting tool for Mario Cristobal and company.

“We are excited to announce plans to build this best-in-class, on-campus football facility,” Vice President/Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich said in a statement. “The University of Miami wants to enroll the very best students in all walks of life and investing in facilities is critical to recruit and retain the very best. Facilities serve as a tangible, transformative representation of our overall investment and commitment to success, and this new football operations center speaks to the promise of Miami building championship programs.”

Under Cristobal, Miami finished 5-7 in his first season, which was largely seen as a disappointment compared to preseason expectations.

However, the Hurricanes certainly won on the recruiting trail, giving promise for the future.

Miami has the No. 4 overall recruiting class in the 2023 cycle, per On3. Miami landed three five-star prospects and 13 four-star prospects.
