Inside The Lines: Get to know four-star Miami target Calvin Russell
Since his freshmen year, Miami (Fla.) Northwestern four-star wide receiver Calvin Russell has been making a name for himself in South Florida, and heading into his junior season he has blossomed into one of the country’s most sought-after prospects.
Russell, who is the No. 13 ranked prospect in the 2026 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking, holds over 40 offers from Miami, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and more. He has enjoyed the early stages of his recruitment but is focused on remaining humble throughout the process.
“It’s been good, and a lot of big schools are coming at me,” Russell said. “I’m trying to stay level-headed. Definitely trying to lock in before next spring.”
Heading into his junior season, the Bulls have brought in former NFL quarterback and Miami Northwestern alum Teddy Bridgewater to lead the program moving forward. Russell is excited to not only be coached by Bridgewater but also soak up all the knowledge the former NFL first-round pick has to offer about life as well.
“It really feels amazing because he got to the level that I want to be at, and he’s giving us information that he got there,” Russell explained.
In Russell’s recruitment, many schools have shown a ton of interest, but few as much as the local program, the Miami Hurricanes. Russell has strong ties to the program thanks to his mother, Chanivia Broussard, who played basketball from 2000–2004, was also inducted into the school’s sports hall of fame, and was named an ACC Basketball Legend in 2011.
“The program is very special,” Russell said. “They always make sure I feel loved, make sure I feel wanted and make sure I feel needed.”
Throughout his recruitment, the 6-foot-5.5 190-pounder has built a strong relationship with Hurricanes wide receivers coach Kevin Beard, who watched him practice earlier this spring.
“It’s definitely going good right now,” Russell said of his relationship with Beard. “I love the way he coaches and treats his guys; that’s definitely family right there.”
In CaneSport’s latest installment of Inside the Lines, we talk about a handful of topics with Russell, who has quickly become a top target for the Hurricanes in next year’s recruiting cycle.
