In a jaw-dropping twist that’s sending shockwaves through the recruiting world, a five-star recruit has decommitted from Kansas State, turned down a reported $6.7 million NIL package, and announced his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes—over powerhouse contenders Notre Dame and Georgia.

The move stuns not only because of the high-profile flip, but also because the recruit walked away from one of the most lucrative NIL deals ever offered to a high school athlete.

Why Miami?

According to sources close to the player, the decision came down to relationships, development, and Miami’s vision.

“It wasn’t about the money,” the recruit said in a statement. “It was about where I could grow the most—on and off the field. Coach Cristobal and the staff made me feel like family.”

This commitment marks a massive win for Miami, signaling their continued return to national relevance on the recruiting trail. The Hurricanes beat out blue bloods and deep-pocketed NIL offers to land a generational talent.

Impact on College Football

Kansas State loses a historic commit and potential program-changer.

Notre Dame and Georgia, both seen as likely landing spots in recent weeks, are left stunned.

Miami surges in 2026 recruiting rankings and reaffirms its growing recruiting power.

More to come as details emerge, but for now—The U just scored a program-altering win.
