C.J. Daniels and Malachi Toney have quickly established chemistry with Miami quarterback Carson Beck through the first two games in 2025. Daniels and Toney have erased doubts about Miami losing its top six receivers from the top-ranked offense nationally in 2024.
Daniels has 10 receptions for 119 yards and three touchdowns in Miami wins over Notre Dame and Bethune-Cookman through the first two wins of the 2025 season. Toney has 12 catches for 152 yards and one TD through the two games and he will not turn 18 until later this month.
Daniels had five receptions for 73 yards and two TDs versus Bethune-Cookman after recording five catches for 46 yards and a scintillating score in the 27-24 Miami win over Notre Dame in week one. Toney had a breakout game with six receptions for 82 yards and one score versus Notre Dame.
Beck has built chemistry with Daniels and Toney, with all three new to Miami this year. Beck transferred to Miami from Georgia, Daniels is an LSU transfer and Toney has quickly become the best Miami freshman WR since Ahmmon Richards set program records in 2016.
Toney leads Miami in receptions and receiving yards through the first two games and Daniels tops the Hurricanes in receiving TDs through two weeks. Daniels and Toney were impressive in week one against a Notre Dame secondary that was ranked the third best nationally by Pro Football Focus entering the 2025 season.
Beck has built chemistry with Daniels and Toney despite not being able to participate on the field during spring practice as he recovered from off-season elbow surgery. Beck, Daniels and Toney are leading what is another potent Miami pass offense again during the 2025 season.
Toney was named the week one National True Freshman of the Week by 247Sports and is a lock to be a freshman All-American if he continues playing at the same level he has through two weeks. Miami coordinator Shannon Dawson deserved a lot of credit for developing an elite pass offense in the last two seasons.
