Miami has 7 of ACC's top 10 commits in new Rivals Industry ranking
Wright is the highest-ranked ACC commitment in the rankings. The five-star cornerback from Long Beach Poly is No. 10 nationally and the No. 2 cornerback in the Rivals Industry Ranking. He originally committed to Georgia before flipping to Miami in May.
Lennear is next at No. 17 nationally, No. 4 among wide receivers and No. 2 in Florida for the 2027 cycle.
Bryant is ranked No. 24 nationally and No. 5 at EDGE. Bryant was previously committed to LSU before flipping to the Hurricanes.
Abrams comes in at No. 39 nationally and No. 3 among quarterbacks in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Abrams threw for more than 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns with six interceptions as a junior.
Randle rounds out Miami's sweep of the top five, and is slotted No. 71 nationally and No. 5 at LB. Miami beat out South Carolina and held off interest from programs such as Ohio State, Florida and Georgia.
Clemson wide receiver Jamarin Simmons is the highest-ranked non-Miami commit at No. 76 nationally. Virginia Tech quarterback Peter Bourque is No. 77, while California wide receiver Charles Davis is No. 87. Miami then closes the list with cornerback Ai'King Hall at No. 91 and interior offensive lineman Jatori Williams at No. 110.
Hall was another flip, this time from Oregon. He is the No. 1 player in Alabama and No. 12 cornerback in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Williams, a 6-foot-3, 335-pound lineman from Central in Phenix City, Alabama, picked Miami after previously being committed to Alabama.
