A day after beating Syracuse and keeping their playoff hopes going, the Hurricanes got more good news.

Four-star 2026 defensive back JJ Dunnigan committed to Miami on Sunday evening, announcing his decision on social media. Dunnigan chose the Hurricanes over offers from Colorado, Kansas, Ole Miss and Oregon, among others.

Dunnigan, a standout at Manhattan High in Kansas, was previously committed to the Jayhawks, but he backed off that decision in October.

Dunnigan, who is 6-3 and about 200 pounds, is listed as the No. 18 cornerback and No. 152 player in the class in 247Sports’ composite rankings. Although Dunnigan is listed as a cornerback, UM plans to play him at safety, a Miami source said.
