06/03/22 - ILB Tirek Austin-Cave, rSr/2025, New Mexico

Name, Image and Likeness dominates many conversations in college athletics today, but still some are more focused on playing time than short-term profit. Sophomore linebacker Tirek Austin-Cave is transferring from Miami to West Virginia with the hope of earning more playing time in Morgantown than he did at UM. He had been primarily used on special teams in his two years with the Hurricanes. He hopes to receive regular reps at middle linebacker with the Mountaineers. "I didn't want to go somewhere just to add depth," said the Camden (N.J.) High graduate. "If I just wanted to add depth, I would have stayed where I was, soaking up as much NIL money as I could. "For me, it wasn't about the money. It was about going to the best situation where I could play, help the program and help myself. I felt like West Virginia was the best fit for that, a place I can play right away." Miami is one of the athletic departments out front in the current NIL world.

South Florida billionaire and UM grad John Ruiz is the leading force behind a group of Hurricane boosters paying Miami student-athletes substantial money for NIL deals. Austin-Cave recently told the MetroNews Statewide Sportsline that he received "$40,000" in NIL money while at UM. "I could have stayed around for that, but that wasn't my thought process," he noted. Instead Austin-Cave is more concerned about seeing game action. - Charleston Gazette-Mail
