Multiple Miami targets, Florida talents make On3 2026 Football Prospect Watch List

On3’s initial 2026 Football Prospect Watch List had no shortage of Miami recruiting targets or local South Florida talents.

More than a dozen 2026 Miami recruits or major Florida prospects made the list, which On3 released Monday morning, and the Hurricanes have already established contact with several prospects.

Here are the 2026 recruits who Miami has offered unless otherwise noted. The number in parentheses is their overall On3 prospect grade.

+ QB Julian Lewis (91)
Carrollton (Ga.) High
— Lewis is shaping up to be in contention for the top overall prospect in the 2026 class, already landing more than two dozen offers from programs including Georgia, Alabama, USC, Texas, Ohio State and nearly every other major Power Five program in the country. The 6-foot-0.5, 185-pound sophomore displayed his talent last weekend during ESPN’s Geico High School Football Kickoff, where his electric performance served as a loud introduction to those previously unfamiliar with him. Miami offered Lewis earlier this spring.

+ WR Aaron Gregory (91)
Douglasville (Ga.) Douglas County
— Miami joined the list of schools interested in Gregory, who is on track to be one of the top recruits in the class, in late July, and he immediately became interested in the Hurricanes and receivers coach Kevin Beard. Georgia, Alabama, LSU and Florida State have already offered Gregory, but he’s open to learning more about the Canes.

Cincinnati (Ohio) Withrow – Ohio State commit

+QB Dia Bell (90)

+WR Jabari Brady (90)

+WR Davion Brown (90)
Richmond (Va.) Trinity Episcopal School
+WR Calvin Russell (90)
Miami (Fla.) Northwestern
