Sun Sep 21 05:00:00 UTC 2025: **Headline: Ohio State Battles Miami for 5-Star WR Commit Jamier Brown as Cristobal Turns Up Recruiting Heat**
**Columbus, OH** – Ohio State is facing a challenge to hold onto its prized 2027 wide receiver commit, Jamier Brown, as Miami head coach Mario Cristobal intensifies his recruiting efforts. Brown, the No. 1 receiver and No. 6 overall player in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite, is scheduled to visit Coral Gables this weekend as Miami hosts Florida.
Since taking over the Hurricanes program, Cristobal has made a name for himself by aggressively pursuing top recruits, even those committed elsewhere. This visit poses a significant concern for Ohio State and coach Ryan Day, despite Brown’s repeated affirmations of his commitment to the Buckeyes.
Miami is pulling out all the stops to impress recruits this weekend, coinciding with College GameDay’s visit and a highly anticipated matchup against Florida. Adding to the Hurricanes’ appeal, Miami’s offense is poised to be explosive with the anticipated arrival of former Buckeye Quarterback Carson Beck in 2025, who is already considered a Heisman Trophy favorite.
While Brown recently visited Columbus to witness Ohio State’s victory over Texas, Miami and Notre Dame are among the schools still actively vying for his commitment. Day and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline are determined to retain Brown, but they face a tough battle to keep him committed until the December 2026 signing day.
