In a major recruiting victory, the Miami Hurricanes have landed five-star quarterback Jalen Milroe, who chose the Hurricanes over powerhouse programs Ohio State and Texas Tech, among others. The announcement comes as a huge boost for head coach Mario Cristobal’s efforts to reshape Miami into a national contender.
Milroe, one of the top-ranked quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class, made his commitment public on Friday, praising Miami’s culture, coaching staff, and vision for the future. “I chose Miami because it feels like home,” Milroe said. “Coach Cristobal and the staff believe in me, and I believe in what they’re building. This is where I want to be, and I’m staying loyal to the ‘Canes.”
The Alabama native brings a dynamic skill set to the Hurricanes. Known for his strong arm, exceptional mobility, and leadership qualities, Milroe has been compared to NFL stars like Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson. His commitment solidifies Miami’s quarterback depth and raises the ceiling for the program’s offensive potential.
Milroe’s decision marks a significant recruiting battle win for Cristobal, who continues to make waves on the trail. “Jalen is a game-changer,” Cristobal said. “He’s a leader, a competitor, and someone who will make an immediate impact on and off the field. We’re thrilled to have him as part of the Hurricane family.”
Milroe also addressed the speculation about other schools potentially flipping his commitment, firmly shutting down any doubts. “I’m 100% locked in with Miami,” he said. “I’m here to win championships and bring The U back to where it belongs.”
As the Hurricanes look to the future, Milroe’s pledge represents a turning point for a program hungry to return to its glory days. His arrival is expected to energize fans and set the tone for the next era of Miami football.
