This is a great pickup honestly. Ppl are just overreacting thinking the QB search is now over.

It's not, we're still looking and targeting others. Puffenburger is just added depth with potential as he's produced at the FCS level.

Nothing to hate about this pick up. Ppl can hate our overall QB situation rn, but thats a separate topic.

I love the pickup, dudes a gamer. Overlooked, and counted out and now he’s got a chance to prove everyone wrong - after showing that he CAN PLAY. Now he’ll have Mario caliber recruits on OFF around him - I’m completely on-board with Poffenbarger - let’s go!!!!

What does he have, two years of eligibility remaining?

Update: I see D$ posted in The Bank thread that he has 2yrs of eligibility.

The Miami Hurricanes landed a commitment from Albany transfer quarterback Reese Poffenbarger on Monday afternoon. After a long and winding portal search for a QB, Mario Cristobal and staff are excited about what Poffenbarger brings to the table.

Originally from Middletown, Maryland, Poffenbarger began his career at Old Dominion in 2021 before redshirting and transferring to Albany. In his first season with the Great Danes, “Big Poff” won conference rookie of the year honors as well as FCS Rookie of the Year.

After Tyler Van Dyke entered the portal, Cristobal’s main priority has been grabbing a QB – albeit the search took much longer than the Canes staff anticipated or had hoped for, Poffenbarger comes to Coral Gables with big-time production and arm talent.

He has thrown for 60 TDs with 17 INTs over the last two seasons, along with 6,613 yards and a completion percentage of 59.9%.

Poffenbarger is listed at 6-feet, 208 pounds and helped lead Albany to an 11-4 record this season, including a conference title — it was the first in school history.

Poffenbarger now joins a Canes QB roster which includes Emory Williams and Jacurri Brown — and there is hope that the injured Williams could be ready for a return in the spring.

All for adding competition, can’t go into spring with Jacurri and Judd as the only healthy QB. I like the move to add depth, after 3 years of injured QB and having to start true freshman.
