The three-star quarterback and Jacksonville, Fla. native had offers from other SEC schools such as Florida, Tennessee, and Auburn, but the Canes and Shannon Dawson see something in the quarterback. He is a dual threat who saw his production increase after earning the starting job at Mandarin during his freshman season.
His sophomore season saw him throw for 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while rushing for 330 yards, tacking on a rushing touchdown.
Moreover, the Canes also have interest in his teammate, and bringing both in is a recruiting tactic that Cristobal and the Hurricanes staff tried to master over the years.
The Bigger Move
Brysen Wright is one of the most electric high school players in the country and has a high interest in the Hurricanes. His quarterback just committed to the Canes, bringing in a bigger circle on the Canes' target for next season.
Wright is currently the No. 4 recruit in the 2028 class and the No. 1 receiver. This move is a clear recruiting move to get Wright.
A catch you have to see to believe 😳

Having both players on the team with their connection is the goal, but the Hurricanes have been after the talented receiver since his freshman season.
The 2028 class is still far away from being complete, but it's clear that the Hurricanes' No. 1 target is Wright. He will also be the other teams' top target. It all depends on whether his quarterback stays and if the Canes can stay consistent with their recruiting inside the Sunshine State.
The Hurricanes have proven to be one of the best programs in the country, with a returning interest that is starting to pay off. Now, Cristobal has done the work after a National Championship game apperance, the next goal is a championship.
