Miami jumps into top 10 of On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings

Miami made a surprise splash Tuesday evening when the Hurricanes flipped elite Pembroke Pines (Fla.) West Broward wide receiver Joshua Moore away from rival Florida.

With the addition of Moore to the 2025 recruiting class, Miami jumped over USC and Oklahoma to No. 10 in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

Moore is the No. 129 overall prospect and No. 17 wideout 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. 23 player in Florida.

On3 ranks Moore much higher than other recruiting services. He checks in at No. 41 overall, No. 8 at the WR position and No. 4 in the Sunshine State, per the updated 2025 On300.

On3 writes this of Moore as a prospect:

“High upside pass catcher with the traits to become a high-end X receiver. One of the most physically imposing top wide receivers in the 2025 cycle. Measured at around 6-foot-4, 205 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position. Has the frame to top out at 220+ once he gets in a college strength program. Moves like a much smaller player. Shows the ability to stack corners off the line of scrimmage. Can gear down and drop his weight within his routes. Runs well and has the ability to separate vertically. Size, length and vertical bounce give him a large catch radius when his technique is aligned. Flashes body control in contested situations.

…Capable of coming down with fantastic one-handed grabs. Physical and tough to bring down after the catch. Totaled close to 1,900 yards and 20 touchdowns between his sophomore and junior seasons. Will have to improve the finer points to his game with route-running and overall technique. Can improve catching cleanly with proper technique. Allows the ball to get into his body at times. One of the youngest top wide receivers in the 2025 cycle, turning 17 years old in April of his junior year. Developmental projection at receiver with a very high ceiling with continued development.”

Miami Class Breakdown

Much of the talk surrounding Miami this summer dealt with recruits wanting to see how the Hurricanes looked on the field this season. A blowout win over Florida to start the season leading to a 6-0 start to the year has put the nation on notice.

Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin safety Hylton Stubbs, a former USC commit, pledged to Miami on the Fourth of July. A day later, the Canes added Bishop Gorman interior offensive lineman SJ Alofaituli.

In the defensive secondary, onetime LSU commit Jaboree Antoine chose Miami on July 20, while Miami Christopher Columbus safety Bryce Fitzgerald committed to the Hurricanes on Aug. 17.

Moore became the fifth top-150 prospect in the group on Tuesday. He’s joined in the top 200 by linebacker Gavin Nix, running back Girard Pringle and tight end Brock Schott.
