The Canes got some momentum on their side with the commitment of blue-chip CB Brody Jennings. The 6'1, 190-pound Jacksonville native flipped his commitment from Michigan choosing Miami over the Wolverines, Florida State and Florida.
His brother Bradley is a former Miami Hurricane linebacker and his older sister Brittney Jennings is currently a sprinter on Miami's track and field team. His father, Bradley, who tragically passed away last month, was a standout linebacker for Florida State.
Jennings is ranked as the No. 24 cornerback in the nation and the 43rd-ranked player in Florida according to the 247Sports Composite. The Canes believe he is one of the top man-to-man coverage corners in America and specifically highlighted his ability to transition, footwork, hips and instincts.
Last season at Mandarin High School (alma mater of QB Carson Beck), Jennings totaled 29 tackles, one interception, three pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries. He was also the DB MVP of the Miami Under Armour Camp.
With Jennings on board, Miami's 2026 recruiting class now ranks No. 8 nationally, per 247Sports. He joins a promising defensive back group that already includes Jalean Waters, Jontavius Wyman and Camdin Portis.
