Miami added a big-time prospect Friday afternoon, flipping 2027 four-star cornerback Ai’King Hall from Oregon.
The Hurricanes added a second prospect in the evening, securing a pledge from Santaluces edge rusher Jayvon Dawson.
Dawson is listed as the No. 43 edge rusher and No. 505 player in the class, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. Dawson was an All-County honorable mention last year.
Dawson, who is listed at 6-3.5 and 215 pounds, racked up 68 tackles, 22 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 2025.
The Hurricanes offered Dawson a scholarship earlier this month, which changed the tenor of his recruitment. In addition to Miami, he was considering Georgia, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Purdue.
Although Miami did not offer Dawson until May, the defensive staff likes his athletic traits; a UM source compared his metrics to current Miami defenders Kellen Wiley and Marquise Lightfoot. In addition to his athleticism, the Miami staff liked his mindset and intangibles.
The Hurricanes have two other defensive linemen in the 2027 class, but they will likely play defensive tackle.
