For a second consecutive recruiting cycle, the No. 1 cornerback recruit in the nation will flip his previous commitment to join a program coached by Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.
Cormani McClain, a five-star CB from Lakeland (Fla.) High School, announced Thursday he intends to sign with Colorado to play under Sanders in his first season. McClain, ranked the No. 2 overall prospect in the class of 2023 by SI99, will head to Boulder after previously committing in October to play for Miami over offers from Florida and Alabama.
Thursday’s news signals another stunning development in McClain’s recruitment process since he initially committed in the fall.
