Miami football Midseason Awards

Best Offensive Player: WR Xavier Restrepo

Just as we see with NFL end-of-season awards, the best offensive player is usually the best skill position player. Midway through the 2024 season, that is wide receiver Xavier Restrepo.

Restrepo was phenomenal during the 2023 season when he finished with 85 catches, 1,092 yards, and six touchdowns. Through six games, he's already up to five touchdowns and is on pace to surpass his yards total from a year ago.

Restrepo was integral to Miami's comeback win over Cal, hauling in a fourth-down pass while on the ground, and going 77 yards on a catch-and-run on the first play of the game-winning drive.

Restrepo is undeniably one of the best wide receivers in the country and one of the best wide receivers in Miami history. He needs just 19 catches and 245 yards to become the all-time program leader in both categories.
