WR Vance Spafford Flips Commitment to Miami

Vance Spafford, previously the longest-tenured member of Georgia's 2026 recruiting class, has flipped his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes. The four-star wide receiver from Mission Viejo, California, is now ranked among the top 15 receivers nationally and brings 2,593 receiving yards and 36 touchdowns over his last two high school seasons. Spafford cited Miami's coaching staff, offensive vision, and NIL structure as key reasons for his flip, despite recent visits to Georgia, Washington, and UCLA. His elite route running and explosiveness make him a significant addition to Miami's 2026 class, where he now ranks as the Hurricanes' second-highest commit. Georgia, meanwhile, has now suffered its fourth de-commitment in the 2026 cycle. The move underscores Miami's recruiting momentum under head coach Mario Cristobal.
