Israel Abrams, a four-star recruit and the No. 2 quarterback in the 2027 signing class, has committed to Miami, he anounced Friday. Abrams is ranked as the No. 14 overall prospect in his class, per 247Sports, and that makes him the highest-ranked quarterback Mario Cristobal has landed at Miami.
Abrams, a rising senior at Montini Catholic in Arlington Heights, Ill., owns a 24-0 record as a starter in high school. Abrams has led the Broncos to back-to-back state championships — one at the Class 3A level and another at the Class 4A level.
This past season, Abrams completed 68.5% of his passes for 4,072 yards, 40 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He also rushed for 224 yards and 10 touchdowns. In the state title game, Abrams threw for 425 yards while totaling five touchdowns.
247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins compared Abrams to UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava while highlighting his “easy exit velocity with a rapid release.” Ivins also described Abrams as a “potential high-level distributor for a College Football Playoff hopeful.”
While it may not be surprising to see Miami doing well on the recruiting trail, this is a different tact for the program give how it has handled the quarterback position in recent years.
Miami steering away from high-profile transfers?
In each of the last three years, the Hurricanes have spent big on hired guns at the quarterback position. It was Cam Ward in 2024, Carson Beck led the team to the national title game last season, and Miami lured Darian Mensah away from Duke this offseason.
Thus far, it’s been tough to argue with the results. Ward and Beck put together a combined record of 23-6. The former went on to become the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, which certainly doesn’t hurt…
