5-star Georgia commit Donte Wright flips to Miami, stuns Oregon
After months of rumors that Oregon would flip five-star corner Donte Wright from Georgia, the recruit shocked the Ducks by flipping to Miami instead.
A big recruiting domino that the Oregon Ducks have been waiting on finally came down on Saturday, but not in the way they expected. Five-star cornerback Donte Wright flipped his commitment from the Georgia Bulldogs to the Miami Hurricanes, shunning the Ducks in the process. Oregon received predictions from Rivals recruiting experts in early March to flip the Long Beach Poly star, and they became the overwhelming favorites since then.
Wright took trips to Miami and UCLA and both schools emerged as contenders, but the Ducks were still expected to ultimately land the No. 2 corner and No. 8 overall recruit in the 2027 class, per the Rivals Industry Ranking.
Wright was committed to the Bulldogs for nearly a year before flipping to the Hurricanes.
