Miami ranked in ESPN's Way Too Early Top 25 for 2025

Miami made an appearance in ESPN's way too early top 25.

i

23. Miami Hurricanes

2024 record: 10-3, 6-2 ACC

Top returning players: RB Mark Fletcher Jr., RB Jordan Lyle, OT Markel Bell, G Matthew McCoy, DE Rueben Bain Jr., CB OJ Frederique Jr., OT Francis Mauigoa

Key losses: QB Cam Ward, OT Jalen Rivers, WR Xavier Restrepo, WR Jacolby George, WR Isaiah Horton, RB Damien Martinez, TE Elijah Arroyo, LB Francisco Mauigoa, DE Tyler Baron, DL Simeon Barrow Jr., DB Mishael Powell

2025 outlook: The Hurricanes will have to replace much of the core that looked loaded for bear in 2024 but came up short again with a late-season loss at Syracuse. Ward, a Heisman Trophy finalist, won't be easily replaced. Miami is banking on former Georgia starter Carson Beck fully recovering from surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his throwing elbow. He isn't expected to resume throwing until sometime this spring. The Hurricanes will have to restock their receiver room after the top six pass catchers from 2024 left, but they did get CJ Daniels (LSU), one of the top wideouts in the portal. The Hurricanes have also brought in cornerbacks Charles Brantley (Michigan State), Emmanuel Karnley (Arizona) and Ethan O'Connor (Washington State) and safety Zechariah Poyser (Jacksonville State) to improve a porous secondary. Miami coach Mario Cristobal fired defensive coordinator Lance Guidry and replaced him with Minnesota's Corey Hetherman.



Other ACC teams Clemson (7th), Louisville (20th), and SMU (15th) appeared in poll.

Rival Florida ranked 18th.

Miami rolls with Carson Beck at quarterback, and if he starts every game with Corey Hetherman as defensive coordinator, will they be better than the 10 wins Miami produced in 2024?

Coaches/staffers departing from Miami

FIU is adding Miami staffers Ed Pata and Benedick Hyppolite to the staff.

Pata has been a vital member of Miami for six years and has been crucial in landing several offensive line recruits over the years.

Pata will be in a similar role for FIU. He was named assistant offensive line coach last off-season

Hyppolite, a vital member for Miami when it comes to recruiting running backs, will assume the running backs coach position at FIU.

Two big staff losses for Miami.

Miami projected as favorite to land Georgia transfer Carson Beck

Carson Beck, Georgia quarterback, has officially entered the transfer portal.

He originally declared for the NFL Draft after elbow surgery.

Beck played four seasons in Athens and started the last two seasons.

He finished his collegiate career with 58 touchdown passes and 20 interceptions. He completed 68 percent of his passes for 7,912 yards (8.6 per attempt).

Under Beck, Georgia went 13-1 with a blowout win over Florida State in the Orange Bowl. The Bulldogs went 11-2 in 2024, which included an SEC championship.

In that game, Beck suffered the injury.

Beck was projected to be the fourth quarterback taken in the 2025 draft behind Miami's Cam Ward, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, and Alabama's Jalen Milroe.

He has one year of eligibility left.
