Massive Miami IOL Commit Built for Power Football
Joel Ervin is a big-time, high-ceiling interior lineman in Miami’s 2026 class, with recruiting services slotting him as a four-star-level prospect and one of the top IOLs in the country for 2026. He brings the kind of profile Miami covets under Mario Cristobal and Alex Mirabal: 6-foot-5/6-foot-6 size, roughly 330 pounds, heavy hands, and a reputation for being strong, powerful, and violent at the point of attack. The differentiator here is tone-setting nastiness in the trenches—he looks like a fit for a physical, downhill system rather than a finesse one.
