SUNSHINE STATE: Miami WINS Recruiting Wars, Florida Trends UP, FSU HURT by Norvell's Status

Miami Hurricanes surge ahead in recruiting as Mario Cristobal locks down elite South Florida talent. Will the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles catch up, or will out-of-state programs keep poaching Florida’s top prospects? Recruiting analyst Brian Smith breaks down Miami’s local dominance, spotlighting future stars Nick Lennear, Josh Johnson, and Demarcus Deroche.

The episode examines Florida’s urgent need for offensive linemen despite landing standout Maxwell Hiller, and questions whether Florida State can recover in the trenches or if Mike Norvell’s hot seat will cost them key commits like Mekhi Williams and Jemari Foreman. National powers like Texas A&M, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Ohio State continue to raid the Sunshine State. While Miami’s momentum will likely hold versus national programs, but will UF and FSU keep top recruits from signing with out-of-state schools? Get the latest insights on recruiting battles, NIL impact, and which Sunshine State teams are best positioned for long-term success.
