Overview
- Donte Wright, a five-star corner from Long Beach Poly, announced Saturday he flipped his verbal pledge from Georgia to Miami.
- He had been committed to Georgia since June 2025, and his father said Miami felt like home, citing culture, strong visits, and a plan for early playing time and NFL development.
- Recruiting services updated class standings, with Rivals moving Miami to No. 5 for 2027 and 247Sports listing the Hurricanes in the top 10.
- The recruitment remains active because verbal pledges are non-binding, and Wright still has official visits, including Oregon on June 19.
- Miami’s pitch leaned on recent moves in the secondary, with Terry Jefferson promoted to cornerbacks coach and Will Harris elevated to lead the unit.
