The Miami Hurricanes are still on the hunt for the best prosecpts in Big 10 country as they have a four-star running back listing the Canes in his final three.

Per On3s Hayes Fawcett, Delaware, OH native Favour Akih is down to Ohio State, Miami, and USC.

His does not have a crystal ball for where he wants to go, but indications show that the Hurricanes might have a new running back joining their ranks sometime soon.

The Hurricanes already have five commits but have dropped to the No. 23 class in the country according to 247 Sports. They also drop one spot to No. 13 on On3, so it is hard to judge where they stand but with more blue-chip recruits looking at Miami in a new light, that can easily change.
