Lingard is a five-star recruit.

The No. 2 running back in the country for the 2018 class has made a commitment.

On Thursday, five-star recruit Lorenzo Lingard (6-foot-0, 180 pounds, Orange City, Fla.) spurned several powerhouses when he announced a pledge to Mark Richt and Miami.

According to 247Sports, Florida State had the next best odds at landing the five-star running back.

This is another huge get for Richt in what is now his second full recruiting cycle with the Hurricanes. Miami has gotten off to a hot start on the 2018 recruiting trail, and adding another five-star will only solidify the foundation of what should be a great class.
