Hurricanes flip Brody Jennings from Michigan

The Miami Hurricanes pulled off a recruiting coup on Saturday, flipping four-star cornerback Brody Jennings from Michigan.

Jennings, the younger brother of former Miami linebacker Bradley Jennings, had been committed to the Wolverines for nearly a year. His sister, Brittney Jennings, runs track at UM.

“Locked in,” Jennings wrote on social media. “I’m home.”

Jennings, a standout at Jacksonville Mandarin High, took official visits to Miami, Florida, Florida State and Michigan before opting for the Hurricanes over the Wolverines.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound cornerback is listed as the No. 24 cornerback and No. 277 player in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.

Jennings had 29 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss last season along with three pass deflections and one interception.

The Hurricanes liked his powerful, fluid movement and football instincts, a UM source told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Jennings was the defensive back MVP at the Miami Under Armour camp in March.

Jennings is the fourth defensive back in Miami’s 2026 class, joining four-star prospects Camdin Portis, Jaelen Waters and Jontavius Wyman.
