Hurricanes hosting many of the nation’s top prospects for ‘special’ FSU game

The upcoming Florida State-Miami showdown isn’t just a rivalry clash—it’s a prime recruiting spectacle, drawing some of the nation’s most coveted high school talents to South Florida. Among them are four-star 2027 linebacker Aston Whiteside, a Texas A&M commit, and a standout group of 2028 prospects, including five-star wide receiver Brysen Wright, offensive lineman Maui Tonata, and Bolles High School’s standout quartet: four-star safety Jaxon Flowers, five-star defensive end Asher Ghioto, four-star running back Xander Edwards, and four-star tight end J.C.

Wessel. The recruits, many of whom have played together for years, are traveling as a unit, with Ghioto emphasizing the game’s significance beyond the scoreboard.

Whiteside, still considering Miami, highlighted the unique atmosphere of watching elite prospects unite for a high-stakes rivalry, while Ghioto expressed hope for a dominant Hurricanes defense. Miami’s own 2027 class—18 of its 20 recruits—will also attend, mirroring the experience of former four-star running back Mark Fletcher Jr., who flipped his Ohio State commitment to join the Hurricanes.
