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.

He reminds me of Fitz.

 

He reminds me of Fitz.

He does but is already bigger and more physical at this point in HS.

 

Translation from pops = that check about to clear

 

He’s a freshmans impact player

 

He reminds me of Fitz.

He actually reminds me of Thomas. To the point where i think he may be able to come right in and take Thomas’ spot and allow Fitz to stay at nickel.

 

He is the type of Safety we need. I actually really like him and Cortez Redding in the class

 

This is one I am super excited about

 

this kid was a great flip.....no way he should be at kansas

 

 

looked like pass intererence

 

This is this years version of Fitzgerald imo. The step up in athleticism won’t be a problem for him. Throw him in there and just let him be an athlete and the mental part will come

 

 

 

We had the top talent at Safety this year, but get the Minnesota transfer and depth is looking like it’s supposed to.

 

 

All these kids are getting to watch some absolute pro’s at their positions prepare for these big CFP games and get to see how they work first hand. That is invaluable.

 

This Dunnigan kid sure looks and moves the part
