Thomas has been by far Miami’s offensive MVP this season. He is third overall in yards from scrimmage with 415 and his 396 receiving yards leads the team by a wide margin. Jordan has 174 and Harley 173. Thomas has also been the most improved player on the offense.
The most surprising player on the offense has been Harley. He has already surpassed his numbers from his Freshman year in 2017. Harley had nine receptions for 91 yards last season.
Harley nearly beat those numbers against FIU finishing with a career-high seven receptions for 76 yards. Harley followed that up with two receptions for 70 yards against North Carolina. He was shutout against Florida State. On the season Harley has 15 receptions for 173 yards. He is still waiting to score his first career touchdown.
Jordan has been far the best Freshman for Miami on both sides of the ball. He is tied with Harley for second in receptions and is a yard ahead of Harley for second on the team in yards. Jordan’s four touchdowns are also second on the team to Cager.
