An interview with Fort Myers offensive lineman Joel Ervin, who is uncommitted.

Miami has been busy in March, and they put a bow on the month by landing a commitment from an elite local offensive tackle.

Fort Myers’ Joel Ervin named the Hurricanes on Saturday evening, becoming the seventh Miami commitment of the 2026 cycle. He previously committed to Louisville on March 8, but decommitted a few weeks later.

Ervin took unofficial visits to Miami and Florida State before walking back his commitment with the Cardinals. Ervin posted a photo from the Hurricanes’ practice facility on Saturday morning before announcing his commitment. He was slated to take official visits to Kentucky, Miami, Florida, and USC this summer, but says his recruitment is now shut down.

“The moment I decided was after today—just seeing how much of an impact Coach Mirabal makes on those guys,” Ervin told CaneSport. “And just seeing those guys compete made me want to be a Hurricane… I’m going to shut down my recruitment. I’m really excited, and I can’t even express it.”

Ervin began his junior year unranked by most major recruiting services but debuted on The News-Press’ Big 15 at No. 8. He joins Miami’s class less than a year later as a 3-star and Top-100 tackle in the nation.
