Hurricanes land commitment from defensive lineman to keep beefing up trenches
The Miami Hurricanes 2027 recruiting class continues to grow fresh of a jam-packed weekend of visits.
Three-star defensive lineman DeMarco Jenkins, one of the 15 reported official visitors in Coral Gables this weekend, became the latest to announce his commitment to the Hurricanes’ class, doing so on Sunday. Jenkins holds offers from 27 schools, including LSU, SMU and Texas.
Jenkins, from Pearland, Texas, is rated as the No. 51 defensive lineman in the Class of 2027 and the No. 439 overall recruit in the class, according to the 247Sports composite ranking.
Jenkins, listed at 6-3 and 307 pounds, last season had 17 tackles for loss and seven sacks while totaling 48 tackles for a Pearland High team that went 11-1 and was ranked as the No. 68 overall team in Texas.
Miami’s class, which now has 16 commitments and was ranked No. 4 nationally by 247Sports prior to Jenkins’ commitment, now has five defensive linemen and/or edge rushers in the class. Jenkins joins four-star lineman Ezekiel Ayangbile, four-star edge rusher Demarcus Deroche, three-star edge rusher Jyavon Dawson and three-star defensive lineman Josh Johnson.
