OVERVIEW: Miami's vaulted rushing attack is scheduled to return five quality backs (Mark Fletcher, Jordan Lyle,  CharMar Brown, Girard Pringle) Jr., Chris Wheatley-Humphrey) In 2025, they will be joined by 2026 true freshman Javian Mallory.  None exhausted their eligibility after the 2025 season. However, Fletcher and Brown will need to be replaced after the 2026 season. Miami prefers to carry five running backs because of the physical nature of the position.

OVERVIEW: Miami carried ten (10) wide receivers (Ny Carr , CJ Daniels,  Tony Johnson,   Ray Ray Joseph,    Keelan Marion,   Joshua Moore  Chance Robinson, Malachi Toney, Joshisa Trader, Daylyn Upshaw) in 2025. Daniels, Johnson, and Marion exhausted their eligibility after this past season. Ray Ray Joseph recently announced his intention to enter the transfer portal. The Canes recently signed four talented freshmen wide receivers in their 2026 recruiting class. The Canes also added former Duke WR Cooper Barkate (1,106 yds, 7 TDs), former West Virginia WR Cam Vaughn and former So. Carolina WR Vandrevius Jacobs.

Summary:  Multi-sport athlete (Track & Field)  | Starting left tackle in HS | [247Sports]  Big tree with exceptional physical features and promising movement patterns that’s going to have a chance to protect the corner at the game’s highest levels if it all comes together.
-Measured just over 6-foot-8, 335 pounds in advance of junior year. Flashes surprising conviction on front-side blocks for someone with such a high center of gravity as he flips his hips and hunts for takedowns. Quick to extend the arc in pass sets with his lateral slide and will make in-snap adjustments to recover from false steps. Still figuring out to handle wide speed rushers, but has made noticeable strides in that department since first emerging on the scene and has a unique advantage with his reach. Injured knee as sophomore, but hasn’t shown many signs of lingering effects. Should be viewed as a high-upside tackle that can play in both a zone or gap scheme. Must keep developing, but size and athleticism is well worth the investment for a College Football Playoff contender.
