The Miami Hurricanes made a significant addition to their 2026 recruiting class with the commitment of cornerback Camdin Portis, son of UM legend Clinton Portis. This announcement came just one day after the Hurricanes’ impressive 36-14 victory over their arch-rivals, the Florida State Seminoles, held at Hard Rock Stadium. The atmosphere of the game and the team’s performance clearly resonated with Camdin, leading him to choose Miami over a competitive field that included Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, and Auburn.
Camdin Portis, a junior at Myers Park High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a highly regarded four-star prospect. According to the 247Sports composite ranking, he is currently listed as the No. 25 cornerback in his class. His commitment marks a significant step for Miami as they aim to strengthen their defensive backfield for the future.
This recruitment holds special significance not only for the Hurricanes but also for the Portis family. Clinton Portis was a standout player for Miami, part of the legendary 2001 team that claimed the national championship. Following in his father’s footsteps, Camdin will have the opportunity to build his own legacy at a program steeped in tradition and success.
With Portis’s commitment, Miami now has three players in their 2026 recruiting class, joining four-star linebacker Jordan Campbell from Miami Carol City and three-star quarterback Dereon Coleman from Orlando Jones. As the Hurricanes continue to build momentum on the recruiting trail, Camdin Portis’s decision is a promising sign for the program’s future, potentially paving the way for another family legacy at the University of Miami.
