Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes have pulled off one of the biggest flips of the year. Five-star cornerback Donte Wright flipped his commitment from the Georgia Bulldogs to the Hurricanes on Saturday, announcing the news on social media.
Wright has been committed to Georgia since June of 2025, but he never shut down his recruitment with the Oregon Ducks, UCLA Bruins, Michigan Wolverines, and Hurricanes keeping the pressure on. He visited Miami for the first time in March, allowing them to surge in his recruitment and complete the flip.
He is ranked as the No. 9 overall player and No. 2 cornerback in the 247Sports composite. The Long Beach native is also the No. 1 player from California. The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder is now their highest-rated commit.
Wright is yet another massive addition for Cristobal, who has assembled one of the most talented recruiting classes in the country. He is the third five-star prospect they have committed, joining five-star wide receiver Nick Lennear and five-star quarterback Israel Abrams.
The group is ranked as the 10th best in the country and the best in the ACC by 247Sports. Their average player rating of 90.91 is the sixth-best in the country.
