Miami LOADS UP in the spring transfer portal — should that excite or concern? May 07, 2025

Show notes

Miami has been very active in the spring transfer portal, grabbing multiple players who likely will wind up either starting or playing major roles for the Hurricanes this season.

The latest is former Auburn DB Keionte Scott, who spent the spring at Houston but reunites with former Auburn and Houston secondary coach Zac Etheridge in Miami. The Hurricanes also have added former Texas kicker Bert Auburn, former North Dakota State tailback CharMar Brown, former N.C. State linebacker Kamal Bonner, former Cincinnati receiver Tony Johnson and former BYU receiver/kick returner Keelon Marion.

Can the Hurricanes get to the College Football Playoff with this roster?

Also, ESPN’s Heather Dinich said Tuesday that the seeding still might change for the 2025 College Football Playoff. Everyone agrees the seeding should change, but for everyone outside the Big Ten and SEC there is little incentive to make that change for this year.

Later, Andy and Ari pick their favorite On3 graphics…

The top-rated quarterback in the class of 2026 makes his college decision today! Jared Curtis, a 6-4, 225-pounder from Nashville, is choosing between Georgia and Oregon.

Steve Wiltfong, On3’s vice president of recruiting and transfer portal, joins Andy and Ari to handicap his pick and explain what it means for the rest of the recruiting cycle.
