Tampa Armwood four-star linebacker Kellen Wiley has committed to Miami, he announced on National Signing Day.

He chose the Hurricanes over the likes of Texas and Maryland.

Wiley is the No. 253 overall prospect and No. 26 LB in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 38 player in Florida.

Wiley was trending heavily to the Longhorns, but is set to stay home and play for the in-state Hurricanes under Mario Cristobal and Co. On3 ranks Wiley higher than other recruiting services, as he checks in at No. 92 overall and No. 7 at LB in the On300.

He joins a Miami class that continues to push for top-10 status in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. He’s also the second LB to join the class, flanking three-star Ezekiel Marcelin.

“I’ve still been talking to coach D-Nic (Derek Nicholson), coach Chevis (Jackson), coach (Mario) Cristobal almost every day,” Wiley told CaneSport this week. “Them and my parents are all in a group chat, so we speak every day. They hit me up after our playoff loss, so we still have a great relationship. I was actually just on the phone with them.”
