2027 Football Recruiting

I believe with Willie Chapman and Drew Cripps Miami how has 19 commits. I believe this list is complete:

Ethan Posey– OL-6’2 290
Braden Chaffin OT– 6’6 275
Zachary Ingram CB– 6’1 170
Errol Kerns II SAF– 6’0 180
Charlee Lawson OT– 6’6 300
Terrance Jone Edge– 6’1 220
Chandler Moore IOL– 6’3 275
Max Bollman END– 6’2 240
Will Sabatos SAF– 6’1 200
William Tobin IOL– 6’3 285
Landon Lehmer SAF– 6’0 195
Carter Bellisari WR– 6’2 190
Brady Bush DE– 6’2 245
Braylon Gamble SAF– 6’1 200
Willie Chapman LB– 6’1 210
Tayden Lorenzen TE– 6’3 230
DJ Mitchell CB– 5’11 165
Michael Shepherd TE– 6’4 215
Drew Cripps ATH-5’11" 170

Putting how Miami is doing with these 18 commits in some perspective, the rest of the MAC combined per one site, has 23 commits.

You have to think we want a QB. However, after having Tommy Carr poached by Michigan last year maybe we have decided it is better to just use the portal for that position.

And another!! I have updated the list to 19 adding Drew Cripps.

Not sure what to make of Profile as a ranking service (never heard of em) but I’ll take it! It does seem like they have complete commitment data - which is much more than can be said of on3 or 247. Which - if it is complete - wow. Miami vs. the rest of the MAC is awesome

UPDATE AS OF 5/20/26–One recruiting site currently has this Miami class, which at the moment sits at 24 commits as #1 in the MAC and #29 in the country. Obviously very fluid as we know Kerns and Chaffin have received multiple P4 offers each, but still listed at Miami commits:

Would that we would keep all of these.

Awesome pickup. Might be the best player in the state of IN next year while also playing at the highest level.

“Moore, one of the state’s most electrifying high school football players, knows exactly where he wants to go to college. The 5-8, 180-pound Lawrence North junior committed to Miami of Ohio on Wednesday.”

“Moore is one of the most accomplished players in the 2027 class in Indiana. He ran for 1,587 yards and 30 touchdowns as a junior, his third consecutive 1,000-yard season. For his high school career, Moore has 4,083 yards and 61 rushing TDs, along with 18 receptions for 376 yards and five TDs.”

“Moore hoped his recruitment would pick up a little bit more than it has this spring. But the transfer portal has diminished high school recruiting, especially at the Power Four level.”

Come win a couple MAC championships and a bowl game or two in Oxford, make ALL MAC and then go get yourself a big P4 payday! We develop solid players and future coaches!

Stanford offered current commit Braden Chaffin and now he has an OV scheduled there

Seems like P4 programs wait until decent G6 programs build their classes and then pick them clean.

Not a surprise. We got cherry picked badly end of recruiting last year right before signing day. I would rather not have it happen, but if it is going to happen rather have it now than the few days before signing day. Of course, that will happen anyway.
