Miami added one of the best young ballhawks in America with the commitment of Washington State transfer CB Ethan O’Connor.

The 6’2, 175-pound redshirt freshman totaled 32 tackles, 8 passes deflected and 4 INTs. O’Connor is rated the #2 corner in the Portal by On3.

The Irvine, CA native played 755 snaps and appeared in all 12 games for the Cougars. He has been timed at up to 22 MPH and also brings special teams value (72 snaps). A source said O’Connor’s loose hips will allow him to cover all over the field, and his ability to create turnovers is sorely needed on a defense that ranked 80th in takeaways per game.

O’Connor has three years of eligibility. He joins Charles Brantley and Emmanuel Karnley in Miami’s remade CB room. Miami would also pursue a talent like Xavier Lucas if he were able to enter the Portal.

At some point WSU’s coach is coming for Mario with a hatchet. But hey, it could have been worse if Mateer had also transferred to UM.

Well, the guy who was coaching all those dudes is now at Wake. So you might be right...

Guessing money. Paid alot for 24 crootin class, cam, Baron, brown, Clark etc and then cheaped out in the secondary. Who knows if a healthy damari would have helped but thinking money was the issue.
