Prospects in the News
–Cormani McClain, CB, Lakeland, Florida (Lakeland HS), #12 nationally, #1 cornerback, and #3 in FL
Cormani McClain flipped to the Colorado Buffaloes from the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday night. The five-star and number-one cornerback in the class from Lakeland (FL) had committed to the Hurricanes in October over the Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida Gators. However, he did not sign during the Early Signing Period. Since then, Colorado and head coach Deion Sanders have been the team to beat, despite the Hurricanes doing everything they could to keep him. As a result, he becomes the highest-rated recruit in a Buffaloe’s class, ranked No. 29 overall and fifth in the Pac-12.

“It has been a pretty good week so far. After these new offers, I am up to 36 total. All three schools had been showing me some interest, so none were really a big shock, but all three were big offers for me.”
When he releases one, these three schools will be on his list, and he plans to visit them all. Lightfoot also plans to visit the Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish as well.
