CORAL GABLES, Fla. – University of Miami women's golf head coach Janice Olivencia announced the signing of three student-athletes to the Hurricanes' 2027 recruiting class Wednesday, welcoming Valeria Rubio, Catherine "CJ" Andino and Evyn Cannon to Coral Gables.

The incoming class ranks No. 15 nationally according to Golf Channel's 2027 recruiting rankings and features two top 50 prospects in Rubio (No. 18) and Cannon (No. 49).

"What makes our 2027 class so special is that long before signing day, these three were already throwing The U, proudly representing the orange and green, and embracing what it means to be a Miami Hurricane," Coach Olivencia said. "Who wouldn't be ecstatic to announce Valeria, CJ and Evyn as Miami Hurricanes? These three exceptional young women, each from different backgrounds, come together so naturally, with so much energy, united by their love for Canes Golf, the game and their relentless pursuit to grow.”

Valeria Rubio | Bogotá, Colombia
A native of Bogotá, Colombia, Rubio joins the Hurricanes as the No. 18 ranked prospect nationally in Golf Channel's 2027 recruiting rankings, following an accomplished junior golf career highlighted by national championship victories and international competition.

Rubio captured the 2023 Optimist International Junior Golf Championship in the girls' 13-14 division at Trump National Doral in Miami, carding a final-round 70 to finish at two-under-par 212 and secure the title by one stroke.

She continued her success in Colombia, capturing back-to-back titles at the Colombian National Pre-Junior and Junior Championship in 2024 and 2025. During the 2025 championship, Rubio led from start to finish, posting a three-round total of 223 to claim the title by 11 strokes.

In 2026, Rubio added another victory to her resume at the Hatogrande International Golf Tournament, a performance that helped her climb to No. 374 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking in March and placed her as the fourth highest-ranked Colombian women's amateur.

Her additional accomplishments include runner-up finishes at the 2026 Colombian National Pre-Junior and Junior Championship and the Club Militar International Golf Cup, along with a fourth-place finish at the 2026 Brazilian Amateur Championship.

Rubio has also represented Colombia in international competition, participating in the 2025 World Junior Girls Championship, the 2026 South American Junior Championship and the 2026 Toyota Junior Golf World Cup.

Olivencia on Rubio:
"Valeria plays with a passion that makes you feel every shot right alongside her. She's fearless, powerful, and holds herself to the highest standards every time she tees it up. Val's confidence and belief she brings to the course is that 'I'm here to play, and I'm here to bring it' mentality. She competes with an edge and a swagger that's uniquely hers, and I know this team and program will embrace it and match it. She's the kind of player who can change the energy of an entire group just by the way she competes. I can't wait to see her bring that fire to the orange and green, and we couldn't be more excited to officially welcome Valeria to our Canes family!"

Catherine "CJ" Andino | Boca Raton, Fla.
A native of Boca Raton, Fla., Andino joins the Hurricanes following a successful junior golf career highlighted by tournament victories and strong performances across the Florida junior golf circuit.

Andino captured the 2025 Florida Junior Amateur Match Play Championship, adding a significant title to her competitive resume. She also claimed medalist honors at the 2024 First Tee Miami-Doral Junior Classic, carding rounds of 71, 66 and 71 to finish at eight-under-par (208).

During the 2026 season, Andino recorded a runner-up finish at the Florida Junior Tour Eagle Trace Open, posting consecutive rounds of 74 for a 148 total. She also placed fifth at the FJT Reunion 54-Hole Major, turning in rounds of 71, 70 and 71 for a 212 total.

Her additional accomplishments include a third-place finish at the 2026 FJT Pinecrest Open and a tie for 10th at the 2026 Junior Orange Bowl International Championship, where she recorded rounds of 71, 75, 71 and 74.

Andino has also competed in American Junior Golf Association events, gaining experience against competitive national fields throughout her junior career.

Olivencia on Andino:
"CJ is a tough competitor, persistent in everything she does. She's incredibly focused and intentional about what she wants, she wants to be great, and this is where her actions will speak louder than her words. She lives it through the work she puts in and the standards she holds herself to and when she sets her mind to something, you get the feeling there's not much that's going to stand in her way. I know how much it means to her to represent this program, and I can't wait to see the pride, excitement, and competitive fire she brings every time she tees it up for the Canes. We couldn't be more excited to officially welcome CJ to our family."

Evyn Cannon | Venice, Fla.
A native of Venice, Fla., Cannon joins Miami as the No. 49-ranked prospect nationally according to Golf Channel's 2027 recruiting rankings, following an accomplished junior golf career highlighted by multiple tournament victories, state championship performances and appearances in national competitions.

Cannon captured two American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) titles during the 2025 season, claiming medalist honors at the Moon Golf Junior at Sandridge and the Bass Pro Shops/Payne Stewart Junior Championship. At the latter event, she carded rounds of 67, 68 and 70 to finish at 11-under-par.

In 2026, Cannon earned runner-up honors at the 97th Florida Women's Amateur Championship after posting consecutive rounds of 69 and 70 during stroke-play qualifying. She also recorded a runner-up finish at the AJGA Junior at Old Hickory, turning in rounds of 68, 70 and 74 for a 212 total.

Her additional accomplishments include winning the 2025 Florida Women's Four-Ball Championship, a fourth-place finish at the Florida Women's Amateur Stroke Play Championship, and a tie for fifth at the 66th Florida Girls' Junior Championship.

Olivencia on Cannon:
"Evyn has a quiet killer instinct that will sneak up on you when you least expect it. What a tough competitor, and someone who knows how to take her game to another level when she's playing for something bigger than herself. Being the oldest of four, she knows what it means to have others look up to her, and you can see those natural leadership qualities in the way she carries herself. She wants to win, but what makes her special is how much she wants to win for the people beside her. She doesn't need to say much to make a statement. Sometimes one word or one shot says it all. She thrives around people who bring out the best in her and holds her and herself to incredibly high standards. I couldn't be more excited to have Evyn wearing the orange and green and representing Canes Golf."

Rubio, Andino and Cannon will join the Hurricanes for the 2027-28 season.
