WR Sam Brown commits to Miami

Apr 28, 2024 2 min read

Miami returns the top two leading WRs in the ACC, but that didn't stop the staff from giving Cam Ward another major weapon. On Sunday evening, Houston WR Sam Brown announced he is coming east to join the Hurricanes.

Brown, an All-Big 12 honorable mention selection, put up 815 yards and 3 scores last season despite the team's struggles at quarterback. He signed with West Virginia as a four-star prospect out of high school, but later transferred to Houston where he played under current Miami OC Shannon Dawson. Brown caught 41 passes for 471 yards and 4 TDs as a redshirt freshman before breaking out in 2023.

In a wide receiver group short on size, Brown brings a 6'2, 195-pound along with a verified 4.45 forty and 38-inch vertical leap. He is a three-sport star (basketball, football and track) who also played both ways on the gridiron. He is particularly dangerous after the catch, where he averaged 6.7 additional yards and was second in the conference in broken tackles. Brown joins Cam Ward, Reese Poffenbarger, Damien Martinez, Zach Carpenter, CJ Clark, Marley Cook, Jaylin Alderman, Savion Riley, Meesh Powell and D'yoni Hill in Miami's portal class.

He gonna be locked in or on the bench. Too much competition behind him

The guy who trains at gold feet global said George was the best receiver in the state when he was in school.
.
And this is an important comment becaise he’s trained a bunch of elite kids.

The reason this is important is that talent alone can only take you so far. Professional sports does not work with talent alone.
I’ve said that quality depth has been the problem at Miami for too long. Not too many kids have that discipline to sharpen that sword every day.

We haven’t had the team to make everyone look to their left and right and say “holy sht, these dudes can legit take my spot if I’m not on point with my craft”
If you need a position coach, a coordinator or the head coach on your asz every day then you ain’t making it to the league.

If the team leaders need to be on your asz every day…….

We’ve had too many players that were so close to generational wealth, but just didn’t have a discipline or the guts to develop their craft at the highest level.

Love our top 3 of X, Brown, Jacolby. Getting decent production from a 4th & potentially 5th guy could put us in a whole different stratosphere.

Got to think Horton, Ray Ray, Robby, Jojo, Carr and the STA kid will be up for the task. Plus our TEs and RBs should be super active in the passing game with the QB we have. We should be a scoring machine.

Unlocking the TE's + RB's in the pass game is where Dawson needs to show us he's grown as a play caller. Too many weapons not to take advantage of it unless we're matched up with a defense who can't stop the run. I need to see Arroyo, Riley, CJ, Lofton schemed into the pass game properly. If that happens we'll all be telling obnoxious lies.
