OL James Brockermeyer transfers to Miami

The Canes completed their starting OL with the commitment of TCU C James Brockermeyer. The high-IQ, 6’3.5, 300-pounder has played 931 collegiate snaps on both offense and special teams.

Coach Mirabal hopes to hit on his third center transfer in a row after the successful tenures of Matt Lee and Zach Carpenter.

Brockermeyer initially signed with Alabama as ESPN’s #1-rated center in America. After receiving limited playing time, he transferred to TCU where he became the full-time starter and earned Honorable Mention All Big-12 honors.

Brockermeyer comes from a family of OL, as his brother played for Alabama and his father played 9 years in the NFL after starring for the Texas Longhorns.

The Canes beat out USC and Florida State for Brockermeyer’s commitment. CanesInSight was first to report Miami’s interest in Brockermeyer.

Please tell me this isn’t the only Center Mario is planning on signing. Can’t have too many, imo.

The resemblance is uncanny

Can hope the young man is equally as feisty.

coming around to someone like Drones behind this OL. Run game would be unstoppable.

Talked to some VT fans and they really wouldn’t be surprised if this freshman has a good game tonight they might want to move to him. Tricky because Pry is on the hot seat

The Freshman will be in the portal before Drones maybe they both will. that kid is a smurf and not a P4 QB

It’s insane how fast we move for oline
Why can’t Mario tamper at other positions like this

The waiting is killing me but of course he would not come here without a serious plan at QB.

not playing tonight seems like he may be out early spring as well with an MCL - did that hinder his performance this year? if so that would definitely change my perspective of how bad he was in 2024

it certainly did, he was hurt the entire last half of the season
