Miami has scored another important win on the recruiting trail.<\/p>\n
Three-star Miami (Fla.) North Miami Beach defensive back Andre Hyppolite<\/a> committed to the Hurricanes on his official visit this weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat excites me about the opportunity to play for The U is that it\u2019ll just be a great thing to do \u2014 putting on for my city and not being too far from the people closest to me,\u201d Hyppolite previously told Rivals.<\/p>\n Hyppolite picked Miami over offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Notre Dame and others. <\/p>\n Miami extended an offer to Hyppolite after the staff saw him at his school during the winter contact period. UM immediately became a factor in his recruitment and began to trend for Hyppolite following his time at 305 Day earlier this month.<\/p>\n It was there where the Hurricanes really took command of his recruitment. Miami worked hard on Hyppolite for the rest of the offseason, held off a push from Florida and eventually won him over on his official visit. <\/p>\n \u201cOverall, it was really good,\u201d Hyppolite said. \u201cI liked the position meetings and talking to Coach (Mario) Cristobal. They showed me that I\u2019m a priority and didn\u2019t just say it. They weren\u2019t on me just to get me. They want me, so they can help me be a great player.\u201d<\/p>\n At 6-foot, 180 pounds, Hyppolite is ranked as the No. 45 safety and No. 523 overall prospect nationally, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is also ranked as the No. 44 overall recruit in the state of Florida this cycle.<\/p>\n The Hurricanes have 19 overall commitments in the 2027 recruiting class \u2014 Hyppolite, five-star Irmo (S.C.)
