In a major recruiting shakeup, the Miami Hurricanes have landed a surprise commitment from four-star running back CharMar Brown, beating out heavyweights Nebraska and California for the coveted prospect. Brown, ranked among the top RBs in the 2025 class, announced his decision via social media Tuesday night, sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting landscape.
The 5’11”, 200-pound back out of St. Louis, Missouri, had long been considered a Nebraska lean, with Cal also pushing hard in recent weeks. But a late surge by Miami—fueled by an impressive official visit and strong relationships with the Canes’ offensive staff—turned the tide in Coral Gables’ favor.
“I felt the love from Miami from day one,” Brown said. “Coach Cristobal and Coach Dawson made it clear that I’m a top priority. They believe in my ability and have a plan for me from Day 1.”
Brown rushed for over 1,700 yards and 24 touchdowns last season, showcasing elite speed, vision, and tackle-breaking ability. His commitment gives the Hurricanes a major boost in their 2025 recruiting class, which continues to gain momentum.
DB VISITS UPDATE
In secondary recruiting news, several high-profile defensive back prospects are set to visit Coral Gables in the coming weeks. Among them:
-
Zion Wallace, a top-100 cornerback out of Georgia, will be on campus this weekend for his official visit.
-
Malik Taylor, a rangy safety from Texas, is slated for a mid-May visit and has Miami in his top three.
-
Javon Reese, a local talent from South Florida, is expected to attend Miami’s June cookout, and sources say the Canes are quietly becoming his frontrunner.
With Brown now in the fold and a slew of elite defensive backs eyeing the program, Miami’s 2025 class is shaping up to be one of the most promising in recent years.
