4-Star Miami CB Commit Kenton Dopson Reclassifies to the 2026 Class

Miami Hurricanes four-star cornerback commit Kenton Dopson is moving up a grade, officially reclassifying from the 2027 class to 2026.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound cornerback from Miami Norland (Miami, FL) originally committed to the Hurricanes back in March. Dopson was one of the top overall prospects in the 2027 cycle, ranked as a top-100 player nationally and the No. 9 cornerback in his class.

As a sophomore at Norland, Dopson totaled three interceptions and 16 tackles, earning MaxPreps All-American honors for his standout play.

Dopson’s recruitment has drawn major national attention, holding more than 30 scholarship offers from schools around the country. His offer list includes Miami, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Auburn, Penn State, North Carolina, and South Carolina, among many others.

Now set to join the 2026 class, Dopson’s move up gives Miami an elite defensive back a year earlier than expected.

Weird one. That bag must be huge.

But agree with posters above…Who the **** is advising these kids? At least go somewhere a pulse.

Best wishes, maybe see him back in the portal.

These reclassifications are always weird. Would have preferred him to stick, but I'll wait to see where he actually signs.

If he was he really should smack the Jesus outta whoever is supposed to be his support system. Cause ole bill is shopping a buyout right now. If you're gonna go there as a **** program nowhere close to home with no clue who your coach is gonna be well good luck with that. It's not the case from my understanding though.
