Five-Star+ CB Cormani McClain commits to Miami

Five-star cornerback Cormani McClain of Lakeland (Fla.) High announced his commitment to Miami Thursday evening.

The 6-foot-2, 165 pounder chose the Hurricanes over Florida and Alabama.

McClain last visited Miami back in June. Since then, he visited Florida twice– July 30th and September 3rd.

The Sunshine State defensive back joins coach Cristobal and the Hurricanes’ top 10 class in the 2023 team rankings. He is accompanied by Francis Mauigoa, Jayden Wayne, and Jaden Rashada.

Cormani McClain Scouting Summary

“Has the best combination of stature, athleticism and ball skills among cornerback prospects in the 2023 cycle,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Measured over 6-foot-1 prior to his junior season and has posted some of the best testing numbers in a combine setting we’ve seen from prospects in his cycle. A twitchy, bouncy athlete with explosive movement patterns. Pairs that athleticism with high end skill on the field. Has proven to be a ballhawk defender with nine interceptions as a sophomore and five picks midway through his junior season. Uses his quickness to stay in-phase with receivers off the line and long speed to turn and run downfield. Highly instinctual and plays fast. Breaks on the ball quickly. Comfortable playing off and press coverage. Doubles as a receiver, which aids in his ball skills and coordination. Would be a four-star type talent at receiver if he chose.”

McClain ranks as the No. 2 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 1 cornerback and the top in the state of Florida.
