QUARTERBACK:    

NEED: 1   |   HIGH PRIORITY​  - COMPLETED
updated: 5/15/25

OVERVIEW:
Miami entered spring practice with four quarterbacks on the roster after landing Carson Beck from Georgia. Beck will head to the NFL after the 2025 season. In addition, Miami may lose at least one more to the transfer portal after the season. So, it's essential Miami must reload at QB this cycle.

RUNNING BACK:  

NEED: 1-2  |  MEDIUM PRIORITY
updated: 5/19/25

OVERVIEW:  ​
Miami continues to stack talent. The Canes go into spring practice with three running backs (Mark Fletcher, Jordan Lyle, Chris Wheatley-Humphrey) returning on the roster. They will be joined by true freshman Girard Pringle. While none of the backs will exhaust eligibility after the season, we may see some attrition due to transfers. The staff prefers to carry 4-5 backs on the roster so look for the Canes to sign 1-2 high school prospects in this cycle.
