Long Beach (Calif.) Long Beach Poly<\/a><\/strong> cornerback Donte Wright<\/a><\/strong> announced Saturday that he has flipped his verbal commitment from Georgia<\/a><\/strong> to Miami<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wright had been committed to the Bulldogs for nearly a year but other top programs never ceased their pursuit of the blue-chip prospect. Oregon<\/a><\/strong> was trending in his recruitment for a time, and UCLA<\/a><\/strong> was battling as well, but ultimately the Hurricanes won out.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot, 175-pound standout visited Miami earlier this spring and came away very impressed with the Hurricanes\u2019 program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great relationship with Miami,\u201d Wright told Rivals\u2019 Adam Gorney<\/a> in April. \u201cI\u2019d say Miami is at the top with some others. I have a strong relationship with coach (Mario) Cristobal<\/a><\/strong> and the DB coaches like Will Harris<\/a><\/strong> and T-Jeff (Terry Jefferson<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the beginning when they started recruiting me, I\u2019ve been a fan of Miami but it was also about how far I wanted to leave home. Going there and getting to see it\u2019s not too far and having a good relationship, they built a strong relationship for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wright ranks as the No. 8 overall prospect and No. 2 cornerback in the Rivals Industry Rankings<\/a>, a weighted average of the three major recruiting services. He is the top-ranked rising senior in the state of California.<\/p>\n

Scouting Donte Wright<\/p>\n

Rivals analyst Greg Biggins wrote this about Wright as a prospect in April:<\/p>\n

\u201cVersatile defensive back who has shown the ability to play anywhere in the secondary. Was more of a safety early on in his career and plays a physical game with a nice edge to him. Moved to corner full time halfway though sophomore season and has the kind of size and twitch that projects really well to the next level. Boasts an athletic 6-foot-1, 175 pound frame with plenty of length. Really strong in press coverage and has the long speed to turn and run with anyone. Has a track background with personal best times of 10.66-100m and 21.80-200m. Explosive getting in and out of his breaks and is an excellent run defender. Can be overly handsy at times and will need to temper his aggressiveness but has all the physical traits and compete level to play on Sundays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long Beach (Calif.)
