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.

“Incorrect” “just stop” “but yes we all agree”. Lol

We all agree he's a terror at the LOS

But no you are wrong, there is plenty in coverage on that tape too…

Simple stuff here junior

Kansas St is ranked 60 in recruiting and their best commitment is 489 overall. I’m not sure what the point is here? You really think they didn’t want this player?

I think Dude might be kinda “slow” judging from most of his posts ..

He’s a one trick pony. Excellent behind the LoS. Been pretty average in coverage. I watched a hype video a couple weeks ago about him and it was about a minute long, there was only one clip of him in coverage. Not even joking.

My goodness.

Weren’t you just on here a couple weeks ago apologizing and coming to the alter for your overly optimistic takes on the season? Guess you might be a little slow as well

So you're criticizing him for admitting he was wrong?

One of the biggest issues in society in TrumpyCane's opinion is everyone wanting to be right and not wanting to admit they were wrong

Say you were wrong about Scott and move on, no one will care after 5 minutes

Some people just absolutely cannot admit they are wrong. Researchers have found that this type of complex usually directly correlates to having a certain small body part.

Went over to the K State 247 board to see if there was anything. Seems like some drama between pops and the staff.

He’ll fit in perfect at Miami.

Without knowing any specifics it was common sense to think that there was something behind the lack of KS interest from Dunnigan jr and family.

Another issue is people trying to hit folks with a “gotcha” from preseason takes. When everything they were saying with present information was true. Pulling “receipts” from 7 months ago before any football was even played. I went with the info I had, not wishful thinking. Don’t think I ever said he would be benched at Miami, only said the facts about him at Auburn.

A very flawed data point at that.

Bro just relax, take a deep breath & say “I was wrong about Keonte Scott” it’s not that hard b
