Miami Hurricanes secure commitment of 4-star OT Ben Congdon for 2026 class

The Miami Hurricanes have made a significant addition to their 2026 recruiting class with the commitment of four-star offensive tackle Ben Congdon from Ohio. Standing at 6-foot-8 and weighing 285 pounds, Congdon chose Miami over several major programs, including Penn State and Florida, reflecting the effective recruiting efforts of head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff. His commitment marks him as the first offensive lineman in Miami's 2026 class, which now includes four players and is ranked 12th nationally. Congdon's impressive performance and potential have attracted attention, and he is actively recruiting other top prospects, notably five-star tackle Jackson Cantwell. The Hurricanes are also pursuing several other key recruits for the 2026 class, aiming to bolster their roster as they continue to enhance their competitive standing. This commitment aligns with Miami's trend under Cristobal of consistently securing top recruiting classes, including top 15 rankings in each of his four cycles as head coach.
