Miami Adds Blue-Chip Running Back from the 2027 Class to Ranks

Even with some misses in the past few weeks with players from the 2027 recruiting class, the Miami Hurricanes are not ones to stop and sulk.

Miami continues to add players, this time a blue-chip running back, Ty Keys, as he commits to the Hurricanes over Ole Miss and Florida State.

The 6-foot-2 out of Popperville, MS, is the No. 9-ranked running back in the class and is a four-star recruit.

With prayer and family discussion, I've chose my next home. It's all about the @canesfootball@coach_cristobal@dtrain2901@coach_upshaw@MattCaruso04@StevenNecuze11@coachfield@BertrelleShelby@PvilleHornetspic.twitter.com/NTV0Vtx8dM
