Miami Hurricanes land potential top-10 MLB pick Jacob Lombard

Miami baseball just scored a massive recruiting win: Jacob Lombard, one of the nation's premier 2026 prospects, has committed to the Hurricanes.

Baseball America calls Lombard a potential top-10 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft and currently ranks him No. 7 overall in the class (No. 3 among high-school players, behind fellow shortstops Grady Emerson and one other).
