Elite 2027 wide receiver Nick Lennear is officially down to five schools.
The 6-foot, 175-pound standout from Miami, Florida announced that he is focusing on Florida State, Texas A&M, Miami, LSU, and Syracuseas his recruitment continues to heat up. Ranked as a Top 25 recruit in the 2027 classaccording to the Rivals Industry Rankings, Lennear is quickly appearing as one of the most sought-after pass catchers in the country.
Lennear’s final five features a blend of national powerhouses and in-state contenders. Florida State and Miami are looking to keep the elite playmaker home, while SEC programs Texas A&M and LSU bring physical, high-profile environments that consistently develop NFL-level talent. Syracuse rounds out the list, continuing its push to make noise on the national recruiting trail.
On the field, Lennear’s game matches his ranking. At 6’0” with a lean 175-pound frame, he combines sudden acceleration with smooth route-running ability. He shows strong hands in traffic, the ability to separate at the top of routes, and big-play speed that makes him a threat at all three levels of the field. His versatility allows him to line up outside or in the slot, creating matchup problems for defensive backs.
Being a Top 25 prospect so early in the 2027 cycle speaks to both his production and long-term upside. College staffs are drawn not only to his explosiveness, but also to his polish as a receiver at this stage of development.
With powerhouse programs now battling for position, Lennear’s recruitment is shaping up to be one of the marquee storylines in the 2027 class especially in talent-rich South Florida.
