Miami Hurricanes continue to impress top-150 WR Travis Johnson off weekend visit: “I love it down here”
When the July recruiting dead period was on a brief halt, Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith four-star wide receiver Travis Johnson wasted no time getting down to Miami for the Hurricanes cookout this past weekend.
With his bond with Canes wide receivers coach Kevin Beard and his interest in Miami continuing to grow, Johnson,felt it was needed to get a closer look at the program.
“Me and Coach Beard have a great, strong relationship,” Johnson told CaneSport. “I love how he coaches and all of that. He taught me a lot of things that I’m going to bring back to Virginia.”
This weekend’s trip to South Florida was the 6-foot-2.5, 175-pound wideout’s second visit to Miami since being offered by the Canes earlier this spring in March.
“I love it down here,” Johnson said. “It’s Miami.”
With his recruitment beginning to take shape, Johnson says programs such as Texas A&M, Tennessee, Auburn, Michigan, South Carolina, and Miami have been showing him the most interest early on.
He explained that development and academics are at the top of his list of priorities when looking into a potential program to call home. This month, Johnson has visited West Virginia (July 25), Texas A&M (July 26), Miami (July 27), and Michigan (July 28).
“Where I’m going to get developed on and off the field as a man,” Johnson said. “Academics as well will play a role.”
As far as Miami, Johnson, who is the No.133 overall prospect in the 2026 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking, is pleased to see the direction the program is headed and has high hopes for the Canes this upcoming fall.
“I love how their program is coming together,” Johnson said. “I think they’re going to be really good this year.”
CaneSport’s take
Miami continues to impress Johnson, who raved about his time in Coral Gables. In the coming months, the Virginia native is hoping to make his return to South Florida once again, which is a great sign for the Canes.
