Overview

• Mario Cristobal personally offered Drayton Hester a Miami scholarship over FaceTime in a video shared this week.
• Drayton is a class of 2031 prospect entering seventh grade, so the offer is verbal and not a commitment.
• Devin Hester posted the call on Instagram, and outlets including Bleacher Report and The Sporting News circulated the footage.
• Cristobal told Drayton he would “recruit you like an absolute madman” and encouraged him to “lead the class” when the time comes.
• An RNR evaluation labeled Drayton “electrifying,” while interest is amplified by his father’s Hurricanes legacy and 2024 Hall of Fame induction.
