Stock Up: Five returning Hurricanes off to a strong start this spring

These five returning Hurricanes are leveling up during spring

Player development never stops in college football and as the Miami Hurricanes look to take a big step forward in 2024, it is important for UM’s veteran returns to continue improving.

This article looks to highlight five returning Hurricanes that are off to a strong start this spring.

In this modern era of college football, a ton of attention is devoted to newcomers, whether it is via the NCAA Transfer Portal or high school recruiting classes. Miami has added close to 25 new players this spring to bolster the depth and talent of the team, but every program that wins consistently year after year develops and promotes from within.

This 2024 season marks the third year of the Mario Cristobal era at UM and it is time to make a leap and show signs of winning at a reasonably high level.

Cristobal has amassed a 12-13 record since arriving at Miami in 2022. The time to win at UM is now with the Hurricanes adding consecutive top ten recruiting classes along with top transfer portal talent like Washington State quarterback Cam Ward.

The Hurricanes have the third best gambling odds, trailing Clemson and Florida State, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The company has set UM’s regular season over/under win total bet at 9.5 wins.

The last time Miami won at least ten games in a regular season was 2017 with UM going 10-3 and competing in the ACC Championship Game.
