Without trying to sound like a hater, because this kid looks physically impressive, why aren't more legit teams after him?
He's a tweener, he's also not a burner, but he has speed. just my opinion. Also, his competition may not be the best out there in Kansas
 
The Miami Hurricanes have landed an elite secondary piece, securing the commitment of 2026 DB JJ Dunnigan.



The top-100 player was committed to Kansas originally, before decommitting just a few weeks ago as Miami shot up right to the top of his list.

At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Dunnigan is an extremely instinctive safety who flies around the field making plays.

He’s got plus range and pairs his track speed with physicality down field, seeking contact.
In addition, Dunnigan is extremely versatile. He’s played across multiple positions in the secondary quite well and is able to slot in wherever he’s needed.

Miami beat out the likes of Colorado among others for Dunnigan, and will look to hopefully pair him with another safety in the 2026 class.

Dunnigan becomes the 26th commit in Miami’s growing 2026 class, joining the likes of Camdin Portis, Jaelen Waters, Brody Jennings, Jontavius Wyman and Cortez Redding in the secondary room.

Expect more names to land soon.


This is the best db class I seen in a long time
 
Not that I am some sort of exceptional judge of high school talent from Kansas, but if he is a legit 6'3 and 200 pounds, that isn't a tweener, right? Asking honestly.
That’s even better if he is moved to saftey .
 
Ran a 10.94 as a sophomore. Final 3 of Colorado, Miami & Michigan. Fits Hetherman’s defense perfectly in the Jakobe Thomas role imo. Good get

Looks like he can cover a lot better than Thomas, jmo…. And obviously he has to prove he can headhunt like Thomas. But he doesn't mind physicality that's for sure.

As long as he is cheap, it wont matter IMO. Tuck him away and develop him cheap and see what we have in year 3.
 
He was committed to Kansas? You guys have been here long enough to understand offers and actual pursuit are not the same. Check the visits, KState, the college in his own back yard and college his dad went to, did not pursue him.
maybe - the way south florida kids always do us - he communicated wanting to go away to college.
