01/09/23 - Matt Lee, rSr/2024, Miami + More +

The Hurricanes added crucial depth on the offensive line through the transfer portal on Sunday evening. After visiting Coral Gables over the weekend, Matt Lee, a center from Central Florida, announced his commitment to Miami on Twitter. Lee, an Oviedo native, chose the Hurricanes over Oklahoma. Lee, who posted on Twitter that he had two years of eligibility remaining, was not a highly touted prospect coming out of high school. He was rated a three-star prospect and the No. 171 tackle in the 2019 class in 247Sports' composite rankings. - Sun Sentinel

01/02/23 - Tyler Harrell, rSr/2024, Miami + More +

In the age of the NCAA transfer portal essentially serving as college football's free agency, expectations will be high any time a team pursues and adds a player from outside of its program. That was the case last offseason when Alabama picked up Louisville wide receiver Tyler Harrell and LSU cornerback Eli Ricks from the portal, signaling both could play big roles in 2022. For both players and especially Harrell, it never fully came together. Harrell suffered a foot injury in the preseason that kept him out until midseason, and his playing time was scarce after that. Ricks remained on the sideline until he earned a starting role in October, then missed time in November because of a concussion.

Ricks, a junior, and Harrell, a fifth-year senior, both addressed their futures after Saturday's Sugar Bowl, which requires its postgame locker room to be open to reporters. It was the first time either had been allowed to speak to reporters since arriving at Alabama. The question was posed to both: will they return in 2023? "Still debating," Harrell responded. "We're gonna see." "I'm gonna speak to my coach first. I'm about to speak to him right now actually," Ricks answered. "So we'll know pretty soon. We'll know by the next coming days - today or tomorrow, probably." - Birmingham News

12/19/22 - Cam McCormick, rSr/2025, Miami + More +

The longest-tenured Oregon Ducks player might return for an eighth season. Tight end Cam McCormick, who has nine catches for 64 yards and three touchdowns entering the Holiday Bowl, said he's undecided about whether to return to UO or pursue the NFL. He also acknowledged being granted another year of eligibility by the NCAA due to his torn right Achilles in 2021. "I've thought about it; it's a tough decision," McCormick said after Friday's practice. "I'm not totally keen on what my decision is going to be yet. I'm going to continue to enjoy this game with my teammates and make the decision after the game...I couldn't imagine doing nine. If anything, I applied for it just to have it after Ohio State last year. I tore my Achilles and thankfully was able to get it. The option's there, I do have it. Whether I use it, it's in the air. Thinking about returning for a year eight." If McCormick pursues a pro career now, he is unlikely to receive an invite to this year's NFL combine and would most likely be an undrafted free agent.

If not on an active roster, NFL players signed to practice squads will earn $12,000 per week in 2023. It's possible for players to earn more from name, image and likeness compensation while in college. If he returns to UO, McCormick, who has already earned his bachelor's and master's degrees, said he'd likely take classes in business or yoga or pursue internships to fulfill the academic requirements. He acknowledged the financial, practical and academic realities that will factor into his decision. "Coach (Dan) Lanning is doing a lot of great things, bringing in a lot of great people," McCormick said. "The guys here are great. It's a lot on my mind. It's stressing me out. But it's a good decision to have, that I at least have a decision to make." - The Oregonian

Miami Hurricanes cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, the ever-smiling, talented, big-bodied fourth-year junior cornerback who grew up in Miami and transferred from Georgia before the 2021 season, already accepted his invitation to the Reese's Senior Bowl. That much we knew, which, in turn, meant he was headed to the 2023 NFL Draft. On Monday afternoon, Stevenson left his farewell message to his family, coaches, teammates and "everyone who has inspired me on my collegiate journey...," confirming that he was "declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft." Stevenson, out of Miami Southridge High, played in 11 games but was injured part of the season. He finished with 25 tackles, 1 1/2 tackles for loss, two interceptions and seven pass breakups in 2022. - Miami Herald
