Top Recruit Tavien St. Clair Commits to Miami Hurricanes, Citing Desire for New Opportunities After Ohio State Decommitment
In a significant shift in the college football recruiting landscape, Tavien St. Clair, one of the nation’s top quarterback prospects, has committed to the University of Miami, following his decommitment from Ohio State earlier this year. St. Clair, a highly touted 2025 recruit from Ohio, made the announcement over the weekend, citing his desire to explore new opportunities and find the best fit for his future.
St. Clair’s decision to decommit from Ohio State, his home-state school, sent shockwaves through the recruiting world. The five-star quarterback had been one of the Buckeyes’ top commitments since 2023, but as he progressed through his high school career, he began to reassess his options. “I felt like it was time for a change,” St. Clair said in an exclusive interview. “I’m looking for a place that can provide me with the best environment to grow and develop, both on and off the field. Miami felt like the perfect place to continue my journey.”
St. Clair’s commitment to Miami comes as a big boost for the Hurricanes, who are looking to return to prominence in college football. Miami’s coaching staff, led by head coach Mario Cristobal, has been making strides in recruiting top talent, and St. Clair’s decision adds another high-profile name to their growing class.
St. Clair’s skill set has drawn comparisons to some of the best quarterbacks in recent years. With a powerful arm, sharp decision-making, and a natural ability to read defenses, he has the tools to excel at the next level. His commitment to Miami signals the Hurricanes’ ambitions to compete with the nation’s elite programs in the near future.
As St. Clair embarks on this new chapter in his football career, Miami fans are excited about the potential of their future star quarterback leading the charge in a new era of Hurricanes football.
