Jaden Rashada’s commitment to Miami on Sunday gives Mario Cristobal and his staff some major mojo on the recruiting trail as the blue-chip quarterback out of Pittsburg (Calif.) High announced his plans to play for the Hurricanes on CBS Sports HQ over the likes of Florida, Texas A&M, LSU and Ole Miss among others.

Rashada and fellow signal-caller in Emory Williams, who worked hard to earn his opportunity in Coral Gables throwing in front of the staff several times, give Cristobal, offensive coordinator Josh Gattis and company a nice foundation, and leaping point here in the 2023 cycle.

Time will tell how hot the Hurricanes get down the road, but the ACC program is in the middle of it for several of the nation’s most coveted recruits along with priority guys on their board.


Miami has a real shot to land the No. 1 offensive tackle in the land Francis Mauigoa along with fellow five-star and the No. 3 ranked player at the position in Samson Okunlola who took his official over the weekend.

“I think they can really build this program, they just need a great recruiting class and they’re probably going to have that,” Okunlola told 247Sports.

Cristobal led the efforts in Oregon recruiting two Top10 classes during his time in Eugene and after his arrival at his alma mater in December, Miami closed the 2022 class with a fury finishing No. 16 in the high school rankings and No. 12 in the transfer portal standings. He has put together a strong staff of recruiters and its resonating with the likes of Okunlola and Mauigoa.

“Overall the people down there are real good people,” Okunlola said. “Having an o-line coach as the head coach is a really good plus. Overall connected with the players as well.”

Mauigoa plans to announce his college decision on July 4. He was at one point a lean to Oregon when Cristobal held the corner office there and that relationship carried over to South Florida as they battle Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and USC among others. Miami should not be slept on in that one.

Cristobal is trying to put together an epic offensive line class with guys like Payton Kirkland also a major target.

“What fires me up about the Canes is how comfortable myself and a lot of recruits feel there,” Kirkland said. “They do a great job of creating a home environment for the families and recruits that come. I feel like this is a program that will have a National Championship brought to it with the right pieces.”

Other pieces being targeted in the 2023 class, Nathaniel Joseph, one of America’s most dangerous slot receivers from local Edison High, the country’s No. 1 cornerback Cormani McClain who also took his official this past weekend and highly-recruited edge rusher Jaxon Howard. Prospects including five-star athlete Nykoles Harbor, the top defensive lineman in America David Hicks, Olaus Alinen, Monroe Freeling and Madden Sanker on the offensive line, athlete Robert Stafford, Top247 tight end Riley Williams and Top247 defensive end Rueben Bain who they’re trending for and safety Jayden Bonsu are just a few other names Miami is pouring time into.

“The new staff they got something going on, it’s special over there,” Stafford said. “And home is what fires me up about the Hurricanes, the program is definitely finna blow up especially if I’m there to help.”
