WHAT’S UP TODAY

First up this morning in your Miami Hurricanes news?

Don’t miss checking out what coach Mario Cristobal and players were saying after yesterday’s practice, with an emphasis on the wide receivers and their takes on fall drills so far.

We also have another Inside The Lines feature for you this morning with OL Samson Okunlola, so don’t miss that as he has bigtime upside and is battling to try and start. Plus we catch up with punter Dylan Joyce, who is looking to build on a big Year 1 and is working hard to improve a specific aspect of his game.

There’s also CaneSport publisher Gary Ferman answering all your fall camp questions to check out.

In recruiting news?

There’s an update with Miami (Fla.) Central three-star linebacker Ezekiel Marcelin. He didn’t hesitate to commit to the Hurricanes in late June, but his other finalists didn’t simply give up their pursuit of the local star. Are they making any headway?

Plus we catch up with 2026 four-star center Grant Wise, who is one of Miami’s top center targets in next year’s class and has a dad with University of Miami and Mario Crisobal ties. Grant shares where things stand now.

And, as always, stay tuned today for any news that may come up.

MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY

If you could have one player back for this season, who would it be? … Posted by Cane thing 67

Ed Reed. I believe he crushed it with the most interceptions. This team certainly needs the help as they never look back for the ball making it possible to make an interception
