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



Ranked as the number one player coming out of Alabama this cycle, Hall’s recruitment surged up 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 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 verified 10.8 speed, returning punts for his high school side.



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 the Canes secondary haul for this cycle.

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

#1 kid hasn't been 5-11 for a minute now. He's easy 6-1 and still growing. He's very physical but his technique leaves a lot to be desired. He has room for plenty of good weight. Makes me wonder if off ball backer might be a potential spot for him. Interested to see how he develops.

I think Deboer takes Bama on a Larry Coker-esque type of decline.

I wanna see what year 5/6 looks like for him because it looks like the writing is on the wall to me.

He was a really good coach at his previous stops and I thought he’d kill it at Bama. Nope. I don’t think he forgot how to be a good coach, just not a good fit there. He could probably go to Oregon or USC and have success.
