Football Championship Subdivision All American cornerback Dee Delaney from the Citadel recently committed to the Miami Hurricanes. Delaney, who was ranked the 17th best cornerback available i the 2018 NFL draft class, had a need. Delaney needed to improve his draft status by acquiring film at the highest level. The Football Bowl Subdivision.

The Miami Hurricanes missed a couple late defensive back targets this year. Credit Mark Richt and staff for staying the course and letting their past success on the transfer market guide them. Do not panic. Do not reach. Let the product on the field attract the transfer talent. Richt didn’t shy away from the formula. It paid off once again with Delaney.

While Delaney was on campus he was hosted by someone who could provide him invaluable personal experience. A player who could relate to transferring to the Hurricane brand while boastfully broadcasting what it could do. Colbert’s greatest interception for the Miami Hurricanes was never on the field. It was when he picked off Delaney.

The Miami Hurricane depth is not yet where it needs to be along all fronts. The statement Miami does not recruit it reloads should echo once more in the Gables.

While signs are starting to point in that direction, transfers like Colbert and Delaney will be punctual transitional keys. Keys that bridge the gap for another loaded Miami Hurricanes roster.
