West Broward Bobcats Amir Sears (1) is chased by West Boca Raton Bulls defenders in the first half of the Class 6A, State Championship football game at FIU’s Pitbull Stadium in Miami, Florida on Friday, December 12, 2025.
A’Mir Sears is staying home.
The five-star athlete, who transferred this offseason from West Broward to Miami Columbus and just days ago reclassified from the Class of 2028 to the Class of 2027, on Friday committed to the hometown Miami Hurricanes to further bolster an already stacked recruiting class. He made the announcement at Dick’s House of Sport at Dadeland Mall, just 2 miles from the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables.
Sears chose Miami over Michigan, LSU and Texas A&M. His commitment gives Miami 21 players in its Class of 2027, which according to 247Sports now ranks second nationally behind only Texas A&M.
Sears, listed at 6-1 and 178 pounds, is the No. 11 overall prospect in the Class of 2027 according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He was viewed as the top player in the 2028 class before reclassifying.
He was a two-way star last season on a West Broward team that reached the Class 6A state championship game. As a receiver, he caught 42 passes for 942 yards and 12 touchdowns. On defense, he had 50 tackles and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.
The Hurricanes are open to letting him play on both sides of the ball, an option that was enticing for him.
Sears is now the fifth five-star recruit committed to the Hurricanes in the Class of 2027, joining Long Beach Poly (California) cornerback Donte Wright, Lombard (Illinois) Montini Catholic quarterback Israel Abrams, Miami Carol City wide receiver Nick Lennear and Columbia (South Carolina) Irmo edge rusher Jaiden Bryant.
