BREAKING NEWS: Top 5-Star QB Officially Signs With Miami Hurricanes Over Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia
In a stunning turn of events, the University of Miami has officially secured the commitment of 5-star quarterback recruit, Jaden Mitchell, one of the most coveted high school quarterbacks in the nation. The highly anticipated announcement ends a fierce recruiting battle that saw Mitchell courted by some of college football’s biggest programs, including Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia. His decision to sign with the Hurricanes is a major coup for head coach Mario Cristobal and Miami’s rising football program.
Mitchell, a standout from Orlando, Florida, has been a key figure in recruiting circles for over a year. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing in at 210 pounds, his combination of size, athleticism, and arm strength has drawn comparisons to some of college football’s current and former stars. Over the course of his high school career, Mitchell threw for over 4,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, showing both impressive accuracy and the ability to make big plays in high-pressure situations.
The decision to choose Miami over traditional powerhouses like Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia marks a significant turning point for Cristobal’s program, which has been steadily rebuilding since his arrival in 2021. Miami’s strong showing on the recruiting trail this year has already brought in several top-tier prospects, but landing Mitchell, widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the class, takes the Hurricanes’ recruiting efforts to an entirely new level.
This commitment is also a testament to the strong pitch that Cristobal and his staff made, emphasizing Miami’s strong developmental program, the opportunity to play in the ACC, and the chance to lead a historic program back to prominence. Miami’s facilities, fan base, and the city of Miami itself were also big selling points, as Mitchell is looking to play in an environment that offers both football excellence and cultural vibrance.
For Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia, the loss of Mitchell stings, as all three schools had invested significant time and resources into recruiting him. But Mitchell’s decision to join the Hurricanes adds a new layer of excitement to the ACC and provides Miami with a potential franchise quarterback for the future.
As signing day approaches, this marks one of the biggest wins of the 2025 recruiting cycle for Miami, signaling a bright future for the program as it seeks to return to national prominence.
