Miami lands 4-star transfer WR that perfectly complements Malachi Toney

South Carolina wide receiver Vandrevius Jacobs has committed to Miami. Jacobs is a four-star recruit in the transfer portal who brings an outside, vertical threat that should pair well with what freshman star Malachi Toney already gives Miami.

Jacobs caught 32 passes for 548 yards, four touchdowns, and an eye-catching 17.1 yards per catch in 2025. He posted three 100-yard receiving games and scored on plays of 35, 49, 50 and 74 yards. To end the season, Jacobs put up a career-best 141-yard outing against Clemson.

Toney has been Miami's volume guy this season, posting 99 catches for 1,089 yards and nine touchdowns as a freshman. He has also become a leader in the locker room for everybody on the team.

Jacobs is from Fort Pierce, Florida, and he started his college career at Florida State before transferring to South Carolina. He even saw action in Florida State's 27-20 win over Miami during the 2023 season. The move is sort of a homecoming for Jacobs.

Jacobs becomes Miami's second transfer portal addition, joining Boston College defensive back Omar Thornton.

The transfer WR's for Miami have come up big this season

Miami has a good recent history of transfer wide receivers. To replace the production from 2024 they lost, Miami went out and added ready-made WR's through the portal, most notably Keelan Marion (UConn, then BYU) and C.J. Daniels (Liberty, then LSU).

Marion has 56 catches for 740 yards and two touchdowns. Daniels has 46 catches for 495 yards and seven touchdowns.

Marion went for seven catches, 114 yards and a touchdown in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal, one of the defining performances in Miami's 31-27 win that sent the Hurricanes to the national title game. Miami and Mario Cristobal will hope Jacobs can produce in the same manner as Daniels and Marion.
