Five-star recruit A’mir Sears has committed to the University of Miami football program, joining the Hurricanes' 2027 class.
The 11th-ranked recruit in the nation, according to 247Sports Composite rankings, Sears is the second-best recruit in Florida. His commitment adds significant depth to the Hurricanes' secondary, which will look to build on last season's College Football Playoff National Championship appearance.
The Hurricanes' 2027 class is now ranked second in the country, behind only Texas A&M. This commitment solidifies Miami's position as a top contender for the national title this season.
Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal is entering his fifth season at the helm, with a 35-19 record over the last four years. He has shown improvement in his tenure, particularly over the last two years.
Miami will open the 2026 season against Stanford on September 4, with a 9 p.m. ET kickoff on ESPN. The first ACC game will be on September 18 against Wake Forest.
The Hurricanes will look to bounce back from a 27-21 loss to Indiana in last season's national championship game. A strong start to the season could set them up for a successful run in the ACC.
Cristobal's leadership has been a key factor in the team's improvement, and the addition of Sears could be a significant boost to the team's chances.
Miami's commitment from Sears is a significant win for the program, and it will be interesting to see how he contributes to the team's success this season.
