Four-star center S.J. Alofaituli is 3rd top 100 commit in 2025 Miami football class
Four-star center Seuseu Alofaituli made his third commitment to the Miami football program’s 2025 top 100 on Friday. Both safety Hylton Stubbs and linebacker Gavin Nix, who both committed to Miami earlier this week, are included in 247Sports’ top 100 prospects nationwide.
Alofaituli is the 55th prospect, second interior offensive lineman and second player in Nevada in the 2025 class out of national powerhouse Las Vegas Bishop Gorman. Alofaituli will join his former Bishop Gorman teammate, 2024 signee Elija Lofton with Miami.
Alofaituli made official visits to Miami, Nebraska, and Michigan in June. Alofaituli was recruited by Miami under the direction of offensive line coach Alex Mirabal. Alofaituli joins the Miami class of 2025 as the fifth OL commit. Miami already had commitments from tackles Demetrius Campbell and Jaden Wilkerson, as well as interior linemen Takaylen Muex and Max Buchanan.
Alofaituli is the highest-ranked player in the 2025 Miami class. Per Gaby Urrutia of Inside the U, Alofaituli is considered the best center prospect in the 2025 class. Miami projects to be deep on the depth chart at center in 2025 with Alofaituli. 2025 redshirt junior Ryan Rodriguez and 2024 signee Nino Francavilla.
Rodriguez, Francavilla, and Alofaituli will vie to take Zach Carpenter’s job as Miami’s starting center in 2024 after Carpenter transferred from Indiana. After spending three seasons at Indiana and one at Michigan, Carpenter is about to start his final season of NCAA eligibility. With Alofaituli, Francavilla, and Rodriguez, Miami has a solid center base for the future.
