Five-Star CB Donte Wright Commits to Miami

Just days after finalizing their secondary staff, the Miami Hurricanes have made a major splash at the cornerback position, flipping five-star Donte Wright from Georgia.

An elite defensive back who has all the tools to be special at the next level, Wright is one of the consensus top cornerbacks in the 2027 class.

A 6-foot-1 corner, Wright excels in man coverage, completely taking away an opposing team’s number one option.

His high school stats reflect that, with very little attempts going his way as he puts receivers on an island.

The California native sticks to receivers with impressive footwork, matching routes well as he fluidly moves his hips across the field.

Wright was committed to UGA since last summer, but other schools such as Miami and Oregon remained squarely in the mix for the Long Beach Poly product.

The Hurricanes began to surge following his weekend visit in March, where Wright left impressed.

“I always had high expectations of Miami, they just reached all those expectations, I feel Miami is a big contender for sure in my recruitment,” said Wright.

“I would say I fit in perfectly. Talking with [Hetherman], he told me that he's trying to get into more man coverage and press coverage.”

Plenty of concern was expressed at the lack of certainty in the secondary room following the loss of Zac Etheridge and the lack of a named secondary coach.

But following the announcement of Terry Jefferson as corners coach and the elevation of Will Harris as secondary coach, the Canes look set to continue on the trail.

Wright becomes Miami’s eleventh commit in the 2027 class, joining local talents Sherrod Gourdine and Jaylyn Jones in the secondary room.

Lanning aint fooling anyone with the fake psyco tough guy routine.

He has BS sayings, like when he said Colorado was about winning sicial media then proceeded to destroy them while he said on social media that they weren't about social media. He knew he would destroy CU thats why he did that BS. He comes off as trying to be a Mario type and he is a hashtag warrior.

Nah, right now it’s just stupid and annoying, particularly in an unrelated thread. Those three guys got pounded for it by your gang which is fine. In that thread. Now you guys ruin unrelated commitment threads for the majority of the board. And yall do it every time. There were three dudes criticizing Mario over matthews. Take it to that thread. Take it elsewhere. Don’t continue to ruin commitment threads because I’m ******* sick of it and I’m about to start going off and purgatory bully slurpers with the **** on everything mopes - or worse, for ruining the moment for others every ******* time. Consider yourselves warned.

That Campbell and P2 visit had Mf’ers thinking both were coming. What a time.

I never thought Surtain was coming. I hoped Campbell was but expected the bag would win out after the Jobe debacle. Our staph was delusional.

Oregon fans be acting if they won 10 titles bruh. They got to be the weirdest group of fans. Known for uniforms and the spread offense, and the only offense they have is when teams put BTA while they are spread out, and they get offended. Pause

That’s their entire history
