No. 3 QB Israel Abrams commits to Miami

Lombard (Ill.) Montini Catholic four-star quarterback Israel Abrams has committed to Miami.

He chose the Hurricanes after taking a multi-day visit to Coral Gables this week. Auburn, Purdue, Kentucky and Florida State were other schools in the mix for the elite signal-caller.

Abrams is the No. 45 overall prospect and No. 3 QB in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 2 player in Illinois.

The 6-foot-4.5, 190-pounder has had an interesting recruitment with multiple schools trending at different points throughout the last year. Iowa State had an early lead but faded after the departure of Matt Campbell.

Penn State looked to get in the mix, but that never materialized. Purdue had Abrams on campus a ton and had momentum at points, while Auburn looked to be leading earlier this year. Miami has had its foot on the gas this spring, though.

After getting Abrams on campus for a visit this week, Mario Cristobal and the Canes quickly began to trend heavily. Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett reported earlier on Friday morning that Abrams was set to come off the board and he’s now locked in with The U.

“Miami is a dream school,” Abrams recently told CaneSport’s EJ Holland. “It’s one of the offers I wanted as a kid. I said I would get the offer, and I did. It was a true blessing. They’ve had two really good quarterbacks back-to-back. It would be cool to come behind Cam Ward and Carson Beck.”

Abrams becomes commit No. 8 for Miami this cycle and could be a catalyst for the recruiting class moving forward. He’s the second top-100 prospect to join the class, flanking four-star wide receiver Nick Lennear. The class currently ranks No. 8 in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

Scout’s Take on Israel Abrams

Rivals’ Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power recently wrote this of Abrams as a prospect. The blue-chipper is also the No. 3 QB in the 2027 Rivals300:

“Israel Abrams pairs a live arm with quality movement skills. Abrams’ arm allows him to push the football downfield with ease. He regularly rips throws with velocity to the boundary on his junior film. The physical ability pairs with a positive production profile. Abrams threw for over 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns against six interceptions while leading his team to a state title as as junior.”
