The latest Rivals Industry Rankings will make you excited. The Hurricanes now have three five-star commitments in the 2027 class, with Donte Wright (No. 10), Nick Lennear (No. 17), and Jaiden Bryant (No. 25) all earning five-star status. Just showing how good the future of Miami will be and what Mario Cristobal is building in Coral Gables.

Leading the way is Donte Wright, who checks in at No. 10 overall. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound cornerback from Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California has all the tools coaches look for at the position. He’s long, physical at the line of scrimmage, and has the speed to stay with receivers all over the field. Wright is ranked as the No. 2 cornerback, the No. 10 overall player, and the No. 1 prospect in California according to the 247Sports Composite. Miami scored one of its biggest recruiting wins of the cycle when Wright flipped his commitment from Georgia, giving the Hurricanes a true lockdown corner to build around.



The second Hurricane to earn five-star status is Nick Lennear, who comes in at No. 17 overall. The 6-foot, 170-pound wide receiver from Miami Carol City High School has become one of the most electric playmakers in the 2027 class. Whether it’s stretching the field with his speed or making tough catches in traffic, Lennear has consistently shown why he’s one of the nation’s best. He’s ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver, the No. 17 overall prospect nationally, and the No. 2 player in Florida by the 247Sports Composite. Keeping a player of Lennear’s caliber home was a major victory for Miami, and he’s expected to be one of the faces of this recruiting class for years to come.



Rounding out Miami’s trio of five-stars is Jaiden Bryant, who lands at No. 25 overall. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound EDGE from Irmo High School has seen his stock continue to rise thanks to his explosiveness off the ball, and ability to disrupt plays in the backfield. Bryant is rated as the No. 3 defensive lineman, the No. 25 overall player nationally, and the No. 5 prospect in Florida by the 247Sports Composite. He originally committed to LSU before flipping to Miami, another recruiting win that showed the Hurricanes can go head-to-head with the biggest programs in the country for elite talent.



With three players now carrying five-star status in the Rivals Industry Rankings, Miami’s 2027 class continues to prove it’s among the nation’s elite. Landing blue-chip talent from California, South Florida, and across the country is never easy, but the Hurricanes have done exactly that. If this group stays together through signing day, it has every chance to finish as one of the best recruiting classes Miami has signed in the modern era.

Jaiden Bryant isn’t from West Boca High. He’s from the state of Louisiana. Caught that error.

lol your gotcha moment is wrong. Bryant is from South Carolina bud, he was committed to LSU but no other ties to LA.
 
Why dont we try flipping that UF OL kid? Surely hed be better off coached up by Mario and Mirabal
I was always curious why he ended up committing to them. He's from PA so no real allegiance to UF. They must have designated this kid as THE GUY for this class and must be giving him an absurd amount of money to go there.

That said, he's an elite prospect who would be a top 10 pick in a few years under Mario and Alex.
 
And why isn’t Israel Abrams a five star anymore? The kid was the alpha dog of the elite 11 and now he’s not a five star more? Total BS!

He's still a 5 star on the composite. For whatever reason Rivals has him at 44, while 247 has him at 9

And that’s total BS by rivals. Kid wins Alpha dog at the elite 11 and he’s not a five star anymore. Just shows how flawed these rankings are.

UF oline coach was at Penn st before and was on this kid for years, the kid followed their oline coach who is actually thought of positively and has a good rep. Relationships are always a positive in recruiting, kid has been locked in probably since he was in middle school with their oline coach.

He wasnt 5 star on rivals, you are mixing up 247 alpha dog with another service, 247 has always been higher on him than rivals and he is still a 5 star. These services have "their guys" and go from there, rivals like elijah haven and 247 has always been high on Abrams. You are just confusing the services, go to 247 he is still a 5 star.

Makes much more sense. Trautwein is a **** of an OL coach for sure.

I know he’s a five star and 247, I was just calling out rivals for disrespecting him by the ranking . The kid is arguably the best quarterback in the class and for them to not have him as a five star, I consider ddisrespectful.
