Five-Star CB Donte Wright Flips Commitment From Georgia to Miami

The move underscores Miami's rising pull with elite defenders under Mario Cristobal.

Overview

  • Donte Wright, who announced the switch Saturday on social media, had been committed to Georgia since June 2025.
  • Wright, a Long Beach Poly standout, is ranked No. 9 nationally and the No. 2 cornerback in the 2027 class by 247Sports' composite.
  • Rivals ranks Miami’s 2027 recruiting class No. 5 after adding Wright, reflecting a jump in the Hurricanes’ national standing.
  • His father said Miami “felt like home” and cited belief in Cristobal’s vision as key reasons for the decision.
  • Despite the pledge, Wright still plans an official visit to Oregon on June 19, so the commitment remains non-binding until he signs.
