In a monumental recruiting win, the Miami Hurricanes secured a commitment from five-star quarterback Jalen Milroe, who turned down offers from Ohio State, Texas Tech, and several other top programs. The Alabama native announced his decision Friday, solidifying his place as the cornerstone of Miami’s 2025 recruiting class.
Milroe, regarded as one of the nation’s top quarterback prospects, cited Miami’s vision and culture as key reasons for his choice. “Miami feels like home,” Milroe said. “Coach Cristobal and his staff believe in me, and I believe in what they’re building. This is where I want to play, and I’m staying loyal to the Hurricanes.”
Known for his dual-threat ability, Milroe has drawn comparisons to elite quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts. His blend of athleticism, strong arm, and on-field leadership is expected to elevate Miami’s offense and serve as a rallying point for future recruits.
Head coach Mario Cristobal expressed his excitement over Milroe’s decision, calling him a game-changer for the program. “Jalen is everything we look for in a leader,” Cristobal said. “His commitment shows that Miami is on the rise. We’re thrilled to welcome him to The U.”
Milroe’s pledge is particularly significant as the Hurricanes look to return to national prominence. His commitment not only fills a critical need at quarterback but also signals that Miami can still compete with college football’s elite in the recruiting arena.
Despite interest from other programs, Milroe reassured fans that his decision is final. “I’m 100% committed to Miami,” he said. “I’m here to win championships and bring back the swagger that defines The U.”
Milroe’s arrival promises to energize a fan base eager for a return to glory and marks a major step forward in Cristobal’s rebuilding process.
