Lennear is the No. 25 overall prospect and No. 5 WR in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 4 junior in the Sunshine State.

The 6-foot, 165-pounder continues to trend toward in the local Hurricanes, according to the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine. Miami began to pick up momentum in September as Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong logged a pick in favor of Mario Cristobal and Co. keeping him home.

Lennear took in Miami’s season-opening victory over Notre Dame. That visit helped really spark the buzz around Coral Gables.

“This weekend showed me Miami is building something special,” Lennear told Wiltfong about the visit. The Rivals prediction machine favors the Hurricanes for the local playmaker. “Coach Cristobal’s vision, the energy around the program, and the way they’re recruiting makes me excited to be part of bringing the Hurricanes back to the top.”
