Miami football lost 12th most 2023 transfers
The Miami football program is tied for 12th nationally with Cincinnati, Florida State, Mississippi State and Washington State after losing 23 transfers following the 2022 season. Miami losing 23 transfers is not surprising after finishing 5-7 in its first season under Mario Cristobal. Miami has added nine transfers to its 2023 roster.
The latest Miami players to officially enter the transfer portal in the April window were tight end Khalil Brantley and defensive linemen Thomas Davis and Jabari Ishmael. Edge rushers and TEs are arguably the deepest positions on the Miami roster. Adding players on the line of scrimmage is a priority for Cristobal
Oklahoma transfer cornerback Jaden Davis who committed to the Miami football program this week has been the only addition following the April portal window. Davis joins Davonte Brown from Central Florida and Terry Roberts from Iowa as transfer CBs added to the 2023 Miami roster.
Offensive linemen, guard Javion Cohen from Alabama and Central Florida center Matthew Lee are projected transfer starters for Miami on the offensive line. Washington State transfer Francisco Mauigoa is a near-lock to start for Miami at middle linebacker. Oregon transfer TE Cameron McCormick will complete to start.
