Miami football Midseason Awards
Recognizing Miami's most notable players halfway through the season.
Biggest Surprise: WR Isaiah Horton
Before the season, nobody would have thought Isaiah Horton would emerge as Miami's no. 2 receiver. In fact, Xavier Restrepo, Jacolby George, and Sam Brown were all Preseason Biletnikoff Award Watchlist members.
Horton was expected to have a sizable, but not integral, role in the offense. He's outperformed every expectation and has been especially great in the past few games. Against USF, Virginia Tech, and Cal, he had 20 catches, 225 yards, and three touchdowns.
Through six games, Horton has 10 more catches than both George and Brown and over 100 yards more than both of them as well.
