Four-star cornerback Camdin Portis, the son of former NFL star and Miami product Clinton Portis, will be following in his father's footsteps, as the younger Portis committed to the Hurricanes on Sunday.

A member of the 2026 class, Camdin is considered a four-star player by 247sports and Rivals, and earning a four-star industry ranking from On3.

The 6-0, 165 pound defender hails from Myers Park High School in Charlotte, and received competing offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee and Auburn.

Following his commitment, he told 247, "It's not even a legacy thing. I feel like this system will fit me, and I fit their system."

Clinton was a two-time Pro Bowler over a nine-year NFL career with the Denver Broncos and Washington. He sits at No. 33 on the NFL's all-time rushing list with 9,923 career rushing yards.

The elder Portis rushed for 2,523 yards over three seasons with the Hurricanes, winning a national title with Miami in 2001.
