The Hurricanes picked up their first commitment for their 2025 class on Friday night, and it is a player who could be a class centerpiece.
Georgia quarterback Luke Nickel committed to Miami, announcing his decision on social media.
Nickel is rated a three-star prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings, and he is listed as the No. 26 quarterback and No. 342 player in the 2025 class. Nickel chose the Hurricanes over offers from Florida State, Penn State and Stanford, among others.
Committed! Go Canes 🟠🟢🙌🏼@Hayesfawcett3 @coach_cristobal

Miami currently has one other quarterback committed: 2024 prospect Judd Anderson.
