Miami<\/a>\u2018s chase for the nation\u2019s No. 1 recruiting class got a big addition Sunday with the Hurricanes beating out rival Florida for North Miami Beach four-star safety\u00a0Andre Hyppolite<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The local star chose the \u2018Canes after his official visit to Coral Gables this weekend, which was preceded by a trip to Gainesville last week. The two Sunshine State schools had emerged as the top schools on his list over the past few months.<\/p>\n

But Miami\u2019s early offer to him and continued efforts to keep him home have paid off. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey show a lot of love,\u201d\u00a0Hyppolite told CaneSport late last month<\/a>. \u201cThey were one of the first schools to offer me during the recruiting process. I definitely have a lot of love for them. I\u2019ve been to campus a couple of times, and they let me know I\u2019m a priority. They just went to the national championship. It means a lot that they think highly of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyppolite is the 19th commitment for the Hurricanes, who sit at No. 2 in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings<\/a> behind only Texas A&M. The Rivals four-star prospect is the 15th blue-chip addition for Miami this cycle and continues their red-hot streak of commitments over the past six weeks.<\/p>\n

Rivals tabs him as the No. 105 overall prospect and No. 9 safety in the class, significantly higher than either 247Sports or ESPN. <\/p>\n

\u201cBall-hawking free safety with a blend of ball skills and physicality. List at around 6-foot-1, 180 pounds. A two-way standout for his high school team, lining up as a deep safety and wide receiver. Shows high-end ball skills, coming down with contested catches on both sides of the ball. Natural in deep coverage with the ability to track and make plays on deep passes. A fluid mover with a long, easy stride in the open field. Arrives with authority as a run defender. Provides a physical presence A good form tackler who wraps up and shows the ability to stop ball carriers in their tracks. Enjoyed a breakout junior season that saw him tally 63 tackles and five interceptions, along with 405 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 32 catches.
