A KState legacy from the same city that KState is in and they never really pursued? But hey, it’s a “top100” commit!

How do you know they didn’t pursue the kid? Ole Miss, Tennessee and Oregon offered this cat and you bring up K State? Dumb post

You know for a fact they didn't?

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.

I heard 6’3 track speed db… and I like it

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.

Loaded DB class

Etheridge and Harris have been great

According to the 247 activity they didn’t. And he was committed to the Jayhawks not KState.

May have told them very, very early he was leaving town or that he didn't like their offer.

Can’t pursue things you can’t afford.

Little by little athleticism at wr & secondary has really risen. Now we just need some more home run hitters at rb.

Welcome aboard kid

Senior film. ^

Miami is really prioritizing senior film. This has led to them cooling on some players and heating up on others. Dunnigan is in the latter category, and he was already a big recruit.

Like clockwork we have guys in here trying to tear down a top 150, 4 star DB who is 6’3-200 and runs fast. Miserable mofos man

 

[The Real Kirk Lazarus]

Some of you guys get stuck on sophomore tape and rankings and don't realize players get better or worse.. ***** pathetic

Cough..cough…

Without trying to sound like a hater, because this kid looks physically impressive, why aren't more legit teams after him?

 

[htownkidd]

Welcome.

 

[Hurricane23]

I mean I get it, he recruits. But give any legit P4 coach the resources at Miami and we'll consistently bring in top 10 classes, it's not that hard. On the other hand, I'm glad to have this kid, very good prospect, versatile secondary piece. Could play corner or safety.
