Miami has been trying to add size for years. After a successful short-term haul in the Portal, they secured their future with the commitment of C Ben Ahmed (Putnam, CT).
The 6'9, 300-pound four star is the #78 overall player in the nation. Ahmed is an old-school center who can score in the post and is a magnet for rebounds. Ahmed chose the Canes over Xavier and Cincinnati.
Ahmed, who is originally from Nigeria, came to the United States in 2022 through the Team New England Beyond Borders program. He won the 2023 National Prep Championship with Putnam Science Academy. He recently reclassified from the Class of 2026.
Ahmed joins four-star SG Matthew Able (the #39 overall player in the nation) in Miami's 2025 class.
