Miami's 2027 recruiting class reaches 21 players with Wright commitment

Brysen Wright committed to the University of Miami on Thursday afternoon, adding a third elite five-star wide receiver to the Hurricanes' 2027 recruiting class.
Wright, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound wideout from Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Florida, announced his decision while simultaneously declaring his intention to reclassify into the class of 2027. He joins Nick Lennear and A'mir Sears, who both signed earlier. Wright will enroll at Miami next year at the age of 16, having already reclassified once from the class of 2029.
Scouts describe Wright as a contested catch specialist with exceptional body control and hand skills. He is noted for his ability to adjust to the flight of the ball in the air and secure 50-50 throws. His physical profile allows him to play both the outside and slot positions, targeting weaknesses in opposing defenses.
During the current high school season, Wright recorded 984 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. He frequently catches passes from Knox Annis, who is committed to the University of Miami's 2028 quarterback class. Wright also plays safety and serves as a punt returner for his high school team.
Miami was one of three finalists for Wright, competing against Texas and Florida. The Hurricanes' current No. 1 ranking and recent national championship appearance helped secure the commitment. Wright becomes the sixth five-star recruit in the 2027 cycle for head coach Mario Cristobal, bringing the total class size to 21.
The program now has five wide receivers from Florida in the 2027 class: Wright, Lennear, Sears, Somourian Wingo, and Malachi Toney. With less than a month remaining until signing day, the coaching staff continues to evaluate additional candidates to complete the roster.
