Miami Hurricanes land commitment from highly touted local prospect in 2027 class

One of Miami-Dade’s top football prospects in the Class of 2027 has announced his intention to remain home.

Miami Norland cornerback Kenton Dopson III on Thursday announced his oral commitment to the Miami Hurricanes.

Rivals rates Dopson as a four-star prospect. The other national recruiting sites, 247Sports and on3, do not have a ranking yet for Dopson.

Dopson last season had three interceptions and a team-high 16 passes defended for a Norland team that went 9-3 and reached the Class 4A regional finals before losing to eventual state champion Plantation American Heritage.

Dopson is Miami’s second commitment for the Class of 2027, joining American Heritage wide receiver Ah’mari Stevens. He has 15 offers total.
