Consensus five-star wide receiver Jacorey Brooks could be considered the most important recruit in the Manny Diaz era up through the present. The Miami football program has not signed a five-star player since former running back Lorenzo Lingard signed in 2018. Adding Brooks would be a huge boost to Miami for 2021.
The 2021 Miami recruiting class is currently ranked eighth nationally. The Hurricanes are holding on by building the class around local, three-star star prospects. Four of the 13 committed players to Miami for 2021 are four-star players with the other nine graded out at three-stars.
