You want to talk about a program changer, a guy that can turn something around. This is a kid we had ranked No. 1 in the class of 2028. He&#8217;s moved into the 2027 class, holds five-star status, No. 1 athlete, and is sitting at No. 20 in the overall rankings right now. But he&#8217;s made the case that we can get as high as we want to go,&#8221; Ivins said.<\/p>\n<p>A&#8217;mir Sears&#8217; show stopping performance has other recruits taking notice<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">Miami&#8217;s 2027 recruiting class is loaded. No team has more five-star players commitment and no team has a higher percentage of blue-chip players. Sears, however, has elevated himself to the top of this class <a href=\"https:\/\/caneswarning.com\/5-star-a-mir-sears-electric-two-way-performance-offers-a-good-problem-for-miami\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">through his magical performances on the field<\/a>. It&#8217;s one thing to be great against an average team, but Sears is great against the best competition in high school football. Bishop Gorman was ranked No. 1 in the country and Sears was far and away the best player on the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\">This week, Sears will have a chance to showcase himself against St. Thomas Aquinas, the highest-ranked team in Florida and another national powerhouse. The Raiders are loaded with college prospects all over the field and yet all the anticipation is about Sears and what he might do.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7m\">It&#8217;s no surprise that Rivals&#8217; Steve Wiltfong said that Sears is becoming &#8220;flag bearer&#8221; for the Hurricanes&#8217; recruiting class. Miami has top targets in the 2028 class, like five-star wide receiver Brysen Wright and five-star edge rusher Asher Ghioto, that are likely paying close attention to Sears and pondering a future as one of his teammates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: Miami 5-star CB commit A&#8217;mir Sears has become a key recruiter for the Hurricanes, earning \u201cflag bearer\u201d status, via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SWiltfong_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@SWiltfong_<\/a>\ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n<p>Top prospects committed elsewhere are taking notice&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Intel: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d18GGiTWhI\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/d18GGiTWhI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0KDh3gW0nv\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/0KDh3gW0nv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rivals (@Rivals) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Rivals\/status\/2095162673314906235?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">September 2, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7w\">Greatness attracts greatness. Miami has always thrived in recruiting when there is a player or a couple of players that the current class and future classes can rally around. <a href=\"https:\/\/caneswarning.com\/malachi-toney-wants-miami-to-stay-on-the-hunt-even-with-a-bullseye-on-its-chest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Malachi Toney is one of those guys<\/a>. Several players in the 2027 class have talked about their level of excitement at sharing the field with Toney.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"81\">Sears is one of those players. A big reason why he reclassified from the 2028 class was to have the opportunity to play with Toney. Now Sears is quickly becoming the player that other recruits want to be on the field with. It&#8217;s this kind of progression that will keep Miami&#8217;s recruiting classes among the best in college football.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow caneswarning.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=caneswarning.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:pointerenter=\"q-BB5K-om0.js#s_1NOcOpHWmT0\" on:touchstart=\"q-DdDE1Xjh.js#s_R8AiGTDeM28\" on:focus=\"q-CPB1yEL7.js#s_gxiTM6qMMu8\" on:click=\"q-Cv3MyRrg.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"87\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the past week, there have been a lot of adjectives to describe A&#8217;mir Sears and some future&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-389229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
