The former three-star prospect was the No. 562 overall recruit in the 2025 cycle,. SImpson started to get some playing time while growing into a player that the Hurricanes would have loved to have in the future, but the depth at the position began to overtake him.
Before these players, the Hurricanes already had three players set to enter the portal and not travel with the team for the Cotton Bowl Classic.
Already In the Portal:
The Miami Hurricanes have been winners of the transfer portal over the past two seasons. They have the perfect melting pot of players from the portal and from high school.
However, not everyone can stay in the pot, while others believe they can be used better elsewhere. The Canes are still one of the best teams in the country, but they are losing a few to the transfer portal each season.
The Hurricanes already have a few enter their names ahead of the Jan. 2 opening day for the portal, but it will also be the perfect time for the Canes to continue to snipe some elite talent out of the portal.
The portal has brought the Canes Cam Ward, Carson Beck, Keionte Scott, Jakobe Thomas, CJ Daniels, Keelan Marion, and many more. They have a successful hit rate so far in this new format as they prepare for the chaos themselves.
