Tight end Cam McCormick is an incredible story of perseverance. Because of injuries, McCormick is entering his eighth season of college football after transferring from Oregon. Mario Cristobal coached McCormick for five seasons in Eugene. McCormick had 10 receptions for 66 yards and three TDs in 2022 and is an adept blocker.
The final transfer on offense for the Miami football team in 2023 is offensive tackle Luis Cristobal who transferred from Georgia State. Cristobal is the nephew of Mario. Cristobal is primarily projected as a backup who adds depth to the roster. Cristobal was graded as a three-star prospect out of high school by 247 Sports.
Mario Cristobal and his staff have done a good job adding depth, experience and talent to the 2023 roster. Cohen and Lee will be impact players in 2023 barring something unexpected. Allen, Harrell and McCormick will compete for snaps with different varying of expectations and Cristobal adds depth on the OL.
