Miami Hurricanes flip four-star CB Ai'King Hall from Oregon

A week removed from flipping five-star cornerback Donte Wright from Georgia, the Miami Hurricanes have made another major flip landing 2027 four-star Ai'King Hall.

Ranked as the No. 1 player coming out of Alabama this cycle, Hall's recruitment surged this offseason, going from a largely unranked prospect to a highly-touted top-100 prospect.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound defensive back was previously committed to Oregon since April, but Miami quietly got to work on flipping the Dothan, AL product.

This recruitment was kept under considerable wraps over the past few weeks as the Canes gained more and more momentum before landing his pledge while on campus earlier today.

Looking at his film, his ranking surge becomes clear with his technical ability. Hall excels at tracking opposing receivers with polished instincts on the ball.

The four-star has great footwork to break on routes and make quick transitions in both man and zone coverage.

Moreover, Hall brings true speed on the sidelines with a verified 10.8 100-meter time, returning punts for his high school team.

His press coverage work is some of the best in the class, jamming receivers behind the line of scrimmage with a 78-inch wingspan and giving them headaches all four quarters.

Hall becomes Miami's 12th commit in the 2027 class, joining Wright, Jaylyn Jones, and Sherrod Gourdine as part of the Canes' secondary haul for this cycle.

With more secondary targets in the works for the Hurricanes, this cycle has the chance to be Cristobal's best secondary haul so far in his Miami tenure.

The speed and physicality jump out at you. He's not afraid to attack the football

His man technique creates space that better receivers could expose. But the other traits make you take a gamble because even if he can't cut it as an outside CB, everything else about him leads you to believe he can move to safety or (less likely) slot

Very nice pickup. Seems like a Damari Brown replacement with better physical potential

Love the flips out of no where. Helps with the recent decommitment from Petey as well

I guess that's how it's gonna be this cycle. Not landing a bunch of guys we've been publicly after for months and then having these guys jump on board out of nowhere.

Yea the number 1 player in a state like that is a whale no matter what

My, how things have changed. Not only can Alabama no longer steal our best players, but they can't keep theirs home anymore. Gee, I wonder, why?

That’s not how it works.

We're not talking Maine, Alaska, or Wyoming here. Alabama produces good talent.

Rumor has it MM blew all the village people while yelling Elko era (could be untrue but I doubt it)

Country Bama kids are absolute dogs. One area I hope we keep hammering for kids. Some of the best skill players in the country.
