The Miami Hurricanes are making waves in the 2027 recruiting cycle, with wide receivers coach Kevin Beard scoring a spot on the list of finalists for one of the nation's top prospects. Quentin Burrell, a standout 6-foot-3, 175-pound wide receiver from Chicago, has included Miami among his top choices.
Burrell, who’s turning heads as the No. 9 wide receiver in the 2027 class and the No. 2 player in Illinois, has a list that reads like a who's who of college football powerhouses. Alongside Miami, he's considering Missouri, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Indiana, Arizona State, LSU, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Michigan. While he hasn't set a commitment date yet, the anticipation is building.
The young receiver's talent is backed by an offer list that includes big names like Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ohio State, and Oregon, among others. His on-field performance speaks volumes, with an impressive junior year tally of 67 receptions, 1,139 yards, and 16 touchdowns. Over his high school career, Burrell has racked up 142 catches for 2,396 yards and 34 touchdowns, even breaking his school’s career touchdown record early in the 2025 season.
Right now, Notre Dame seems to be leading the charge to secure Burrell's commitment, with an 80% projection according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. But with a talent like Burrell, the race is far from over, and Miami fans will be watching closely as this recruiting saga unfolds.
