Another five-star that visited was Reidsville (N.C.) tight end Kendre Harrison. We catch up with him and you don’t want to miss that, either.
Also visiting for the game was Collins Hill (Ga.) defensive lineman Deuce Geralds. His take now?
And Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna 2026 top-25 prospect and No. 1 running back Derrek Cooper visited Miami for the third time this season Saturday as the Hurricanes are making their case for the four-star prospect. We catch up with him.
Reidsville (N.C.) five-star 2026 tight end Kendre Harrison was impressed by what he saw from Miami’s football team Saturday during the Hurricanes’ 53-31 win over Duke. And Sunday, the No. 1 tight end in the class and a dual-sport blue-chip athlete spent time around the Canes’ basketball program too. Get his take.
We also have an Inside The Lines feature with Pembroke Pines (Fla.) West Broward four-star receiver Joshua Moore you can check out.
And, as always, stay tuned today for any news that may come up.

MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY
Great Win Against A Good Team … Posted by advarkas
I saw this Duke team first hand against SMU last week. Duke should have been 7-1 coming into this game. Malik Murphy was a high 4 start recruit and Duke is highly competitive – I can’t stand Manny but he’s done a damn good job with that Duke team. Had this Canes team on the ropes for 40 minutes.
thought the adjustments at halftime to go more Zone on defense was pivotal, and Martinez does such an awesome job of grinding out 3-4 yards all the time to help with down and distance. He and Fletcher are such a formidable 1-2 combo at RB.
Cam was and always has been special. Who gives a shvt about the INT throw across his body. He had 400 yards and 5 TDs. If you think Cam Ward makes bad decisions then you’re old or not paying attention or both. He’s the most talented QB in Miami history. Maybe Jim Kelly who was recruited to play LB at Penn State under JoPa had that kind of physical alpha presence but Ward probably is #1 for me.
Truly special to see.
MIAMI HURRICANES QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Really love the way our team closed out the game after a fast start, and then kind of slowed down a little bit. Credit to Duke, them, the players and their staff for having a good plan to slow us down some. But a lot of it, also, we have got to do a better job. We had some miscues that were uncharacteristic and just regrouped at halftime. The decision was simple; let’s play Hurricane football and play as a team and play together and put forth our best effort and execute at a high level. [I’m] really proud of our guys for that second-half performance and taking control of the game and being 1-0 on the day.”
