Miami just landed one of the biggest commitments in the country, and the Hurricanes won’t have to wait as long as expected to get him.
Five-star wide receiver Brysen Wright announced his commitment to Miami on Thursday, choosing the Hurricanes over Florida and Texas. The Jacksonville standout also revealed that he will reclassify from the 2028 recruiting class to 2027.
Wright, a 6-foot-4 playmaker from Mandarin High School, was ESPN’s No. 1 overall prospect in the 2028 class before announcing his move.
For head coach Mario Cristobal, the commitment represents another major recruiting victory and adds elite talent to an already impressive 2027 class.
Miami Keeps Another Florida Star Home
Wright has established himself as one of the nation’s most explosive high school receivers.
During the 2025 season, he recorded 44 receptions for 962 yards and 10 touchdowns. He’s continued producing in 2026, with 46 catches for 984 yards and 11 touchdowns.
His combination of size, speed and athleticism makes him a dangerous downfield target, while his ability to contribute defensively highlights his versatility.
There’s also a familiar connection waiting in Coral Gables.
Wright’s Mandarin teammate, quarterback Knox Annis, is already committed to Miami as part of the 2028 class.
Another Major Win for Cristobal
Miami’s 2027 recruiting class already features several highly rated prospects, including five-star receivers Nick Lennear and A’Mir Sears.
Adding Wright gives the Hurricanes another potential difference-maker and reinforces Cristobal’s ability to recruit elite talent from within Florida.
The biggest takeaway is the timing. With Wright moving into the 2027 class, Miami could have its newest five-star weapon on campus a year earlier than originally expected.
For the Hurricanes, the future just got a little closer.
