Pro Football Focus has named the Miami Hurricanes football program as the top winner of the transfer portal this offseason.



Miami overhauled their secondary by adding two new coaches (Will Harris and Zac Etheridge) along with blue-chip Portal defensive backs such as Xavier Lucas (#1 CB), Zechariah Poyser (#2 S), Ethan O'Connor (#9 CB), Charles Brantley (#11 CB) and Emmanuel Karnley (#12 CB).

Our ability to use the portal is becoming more focused every time. We have improved markedly in this area over the last 4 cycles(2 a year). Coming into the last portal cycle we were super focused and just as aggressive. Getting players like Poyser, Lucas, Brantley, O'Conner and Karnley cannot be overstated. The very same can be said of QB Carson Beck as those additions have considerably raised our floor in terms of win total next season. David Blay at DT could be just as significant and the additions of WR Daniels, TE Bauman and C Brockermeyer were very solid.

The next couple of months will be very telling as this Spring Practice will be critically important in letting our coaches know where we stand at each position group and what exactly we need to add in the portal in order to field the best team possible this fall. Who will step up at WR? Who among our young DL will take the next step? Who will be the next great pass rusher at DE? DT? Who will show out at LB? What about all that portal talent at CB? Who plays where and who starts? Who starts at Safety? TE? What role will Elija Lofton play? Does SJ Alofaituli get integrated into the running game with Lofton? Does Jordan Lyle seize the RB1 title? Where does Pringle end up on the depth chart? Do Tommy Kinsler and Samson Okunlola take the next step? I literally can't wait.
