Class of 2026 WR Calvin Russell (FL) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (7/5/25)

[hungrychuck]

“Calvin Russell, a local player committed to Syracuse, has been visiting Miami games. While he has friends on the Miami team and enjoys supporting them, he is not a recruitment target for the Hurricanes. Miami has already secured its wide receivers for this class and would only pursue an elite flip target like Jaylen Lad from Oregon if the opportunity arose. Therefore, Calvin Russell is not considered a priority for Miami's recruitment efforts.” Pretty much what they said about him

Rutgers of the South

Yeah, like they wouldn't make room for a home grown 5 star receiver.

So stupid.

The Miami fanbase in a nutshell -- vapid, front-running morons.

FYI, she still speaks very highly of you 721...

This was the flip...

Flipping a Kansas kid to South Florida... that's like a Siberian player to the Mediterranean

Russell to the B1G is imminent?

If there is money to be made in Rivals running with that then yes.

So, just to clarify, are you saying there are only 13 Miami fans total or that only 13 Miami fans can read?

All 13 cannot read.

To be fair Coral Gables is a good enough school but it doesn’t appear graduates, or much of anyone, attend their games. It's just few handfuls off Vanilla Ice wannabe townies at this point. I've never seen such an apathetic, front running fanbase.

saw on his instagram stories he threw a few TD passes in their first playoff game (70-0) rout. Great athlete.

Amen. All the flip talk about Calvin, in particular, is exhausting and nonsense.

He played quarterback in his playoff game last Friday , I can definitely see us using him in some trick-play packages and letting him sling it. Calvin Russell’s versatility is crazy for a 5-star wideout.

Easily QB1 if he was here right now.

Definitely no worse than QB3 next year.

He’d start for us right now.

That catch was insane. Can we get him too?

Can he play QB for us this weekend?

Asking for a friend.

He’s already waaaay better than every non-Angeli QB on the roster.

Hopefully

I think its a bit exaggerated to say Russell would start for us right now at QB. He is not polished enough as a passer, but he does look pretty solid.

I didn't think those specific WR catches shown were anything too amazing. That said, I think the WR that caught the first one is Nick Lennear who is a 5 star WR in the 2027 class, who we are recruiting. Believe he was a visitor at SU with Calvin for the Miami game. Would love to get that kid.
