Miami (FL) Hurricanes

The start of the regular season for college football is quickly approaching and the excitement and buzz around the Miami Hurricanes continues to grow. On Monday, ESPN released their FPI ranking and currently they have the University of Miami sitting at No. 23. This only adds to the buzz that is starting to generate in Coral Gables, Florida.

Now, there will always be high hopes for each season for the U, but over the past two season, it has been a rebuilding process for head coach Mario Cristobal and his coaching staff. Now with several recruiting classes under his belt, there are many things to be excited about for this upcoming season.

The addition of the Pac-12 standout in quarterback Cameron Ward and the addition of the No. 1 running back out of the transfer portal Dameion Martinez only added excitement for fans of the team. Most of the teams offensive production is returning as well with Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George being the key offensive producers who will aid Ward on his journey to being one of the best in the country at the position.

While the defense has lost a key part of their defensive line in Simeon Barrow, the line is still loaded with talent. Great linebackers and Coach Cristobal also attacked the portal hard for potential secondary standouts to aid the woes they had last season.

The team has many things to be excited about as they have a chance to make the College Football Playoffs now that it has expanded to 12 teams. A return to the national stage is in line for the Hurricane, and soon they could have the whole country on notice.
