The Miami Hurricanes continue their recruiting hot streak with the commitment of 5-star linebacker Dorian Mausi Jr., one of the nation’s most coveted defensive prospects. Mausi announced his decision on Sunday, choosing Miami over other top programs such as Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State.
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 230 pounds, Mausi is a physical presence on the field. Known for his explosive athleticism, sideline-to-sideline speed, and ability to dominate in coverage and against the run, he’s ranked as one of the top five linebackers in the country. His commitment signals Miami’s resurgence as a national recruiting powerhouse under head coach Mario Cristobal.
“This decision felt right for me and my family,” Mausi shared during his announcement. “The coaching staff’s vision, the rich tradition, and the opportunity to be part of something special at Miami really stood out to me.”
Mausi visited Miami multiple times during his recruitment process, and each trip solidified his connection with the program. Defensive coordinator Lance Guidry and linebackers coach Derek Nicholson played pivotal roles in sealing the deal, showcasing how Mausi fits into their aggressive defensive system.
For Miami, Mausi’s commitment is monumental. He adds instant credibility to the Hurricanes’ 2025 recruiting class, which is shaping up to be among the best in the nation. His skill set aligns perfectly with Miami’s goals of rebuilding a dominant defense, reminiscent of their glory days in the early 2000s.
“He’s not just a great player, he’s a leader,” Cristobal said after the announcement. “Dorian has the talent and mentality we need to take Miami football to the next level.”
Mausi’s decision is a testament to the Hurricanes’ ability to attract elite talent and solidify their reputation as a destination program. As Miami continues to stack elite prospects, their future in college football looks brighter than ever.
Hurricane fans have every reason to celebrate, as Dorian Mausi Jr. is poised to become a game-changing force in Coral Gables.
