Mark Richt continues to be aggressive in recruiting, and that paid off again Monday as 2017 four-star cornerback Trajan Bandy (Columbus. Miami, FL) committed to the program. This news was first reported by Ryan Bartow of 247Sports.
Bandy is the No. 235 player in the 2017 class, No. 29 cornerback, and the No. 38 player in the state of Florida per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
He was held in high regard across the country, receiving 36 offers in total. He was recruited to the Hurricanes by cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph and wide receivers coach Ron Dugans.
Bandy attended a Hurricanes camp on June 21, 2015, and that would be all it seemed for Miami as the Oklahoma Sooners offered him on January 7, and were named his leader on February 17.

He committed to the Sooners February 21, but still continued to take visits and offers with other teams. He was officially offered by the Hurricanes on May 25, and took unofficial visits to the campus on June 2, June 14, and June 22.
After much thought, he decommitted from Oklahoma on July 18 and took another unofficial visit to Miami the following day. He then took two more unofficial visits on August 4 and 7 before announcing his commitment Monday.
With this pledge, the Miami 2017 class continues to grow. Totaling 20 commitments in all, the class ranks No. 8 nationally and is tops in the ACC per the 247Sports Team Rankings.
