Miami vaults in On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings
Miami landed a major recruiting victory Tuesday, flipping Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif.) Catholic four-star EDGE Collins Acheampong from Michigan.
Acheampong became the 20th commit in the 2023 Hurricanes recruiting class, and also helped the group vault into eighth in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings.
They now find themselves one spot behind in-state rival Florida with less than 0.1 points separating the two schools.
The class is headlined by two Five-Star Plus+ commits in Lakeland (Fla.) cornerback Cormani McClain and Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy Five-Star Plus+ offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa.
Acheampong is the second EDGE rusher in the class after Tacoma (Wash.) IMG Academy four-star recruit Jayden Wayne.

Collins Acheampong is a huge commitment for Miami
Collins Acheampong is the No. 187 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $15.9k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
“It’s been up there for me in terms of relationships with the coaches from day 1,” Acheampong told On3’s Hayes Fawcett about his decision. “Loved my visit there as well and it did feel like home . That’s why I struggled committing because I was split between the two schools. I loved what Harbaugh had done in the past for the Africans and his kind heart as well. Since I knew them first as well as going there with my brother Enow was the icing on the cake for me going to Michigan . A lot has happened since my commitment for sure and Miami still stayed in touch even after I closed my recruitment. They kept it going and caring for me as a person as they always did and so the love kept growing.”
