Miami Hurricanes News: FB adds TE, Hoops hosts Syracuse
The Miami Hurricanes football team received a commitment from eighth-year tight end Cameron McCormick from Oregon. McCormick was on the Oregon roster all four seasons Miami head coach Mario Cristobal led the Ducks. The Miami basketball team returns home to host Syracuse on Sunday night.
McCormick has had significant injuries throughout his college career that caused him to miss the entire 2019 and 2020 seasons, play one game in 2018 and two in 2021 before suffering season-ending injuries. McCormick had 10 receptions for 66 yards and three touchdowns during the 2022 season.
Miami gains an experienced player to add to a mostly inexperienced TE group. The Miami Hurricanes return Elijah Arroyo who missed most of the 2022 season with an injury, Jaleel Skinner, Khalil Brantley and Dominic Mammarelli. Miami signed TEs Jackson Carver and Riley Williams in the 2023 class.
The Miami basketball team returns to the Watsco Center on Monday night to host Syracuse after losing at North Carolina State on Saturday. Miami will not return home until they host Virginia Tech on January 31. The Hurricanes play on Saturday at Duke, January 24 at Florida State and January 28 at Pittsburgh.
In addition I want to thank @coachstroud @JasonTaylor and @CoachStrong_ for helping me with this opportunity!
