Fresh Commitment:4⭐2025 QB Luke Nickel Commits to Miami after several offers from Louisville, Nebraska

A blue-chip quarterback was the one thing Miami lacked during the two cycles of the Mario Cristobal era. Luke Nickel, a four-star junior quarterback, committed to Miami on Friday night, ending the new era of Hurricanes football. Louisville, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Florida State, and other schools extended offers to him.

At a camp at the end of July, the blue-chip quarterback stunned Miami’s offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and crew. He was the top target on the board after Miami’s barbecue.

“I simply sensed Miami’s familial warmth. It seemed to fit me the best. Before making his choice, Nickel told CanesCounty, “I understand the vision with Miami, and I am eager to come in and assist Miami get back to winning championships.”

As a first-year starter for Milton (GA), the 6’2″, 205-pound pocket passer made an impression last season, throwing for 2,507 yards and 24 touchdowns in addition to 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns on the ground. He assisted in guiding Milton to a 10–4 record and a state-wide team ranking in the top 15.

Overall, Nickel was pushed over the edge and committed before his junior year by his relationship with Dawson and his ability to alter .

“My relationship with Coach Dawson is excellent. During my July visit, I had the opportunity to get to know him well, and he made it clear to me how much Miami wanted me. I know I can succeed at Miami because of what he accomplished with players like Geno Smith and Clayton Tune.

A shift in Miami recruiting is shown by Nickel. Early in cycles, Miami has often begun with a core of three-star prospects—more especially, non-blue-chip quarterbacks. He is a talent Miami can base their class around because he is a top 20 player at the position.
