The Miami Hurricanes are poised to kick off their 2025 college football season with a highly anticipated matchup against Notre Dame on August 31. Coming off a mixed 10-3 season that saw them narrowly miss the ACC championship and a College Football Playoff spot, the focus now shifts to rebuilding their secondary, particularly their cornerbacks, a position that faced significant turnover this offseason.

Four cornerbacks have departed from last year's roster, including Daryl Porter Jr., who signed to the Buffalo Bills after a solid career at Miami. Porter logged 62 tackles and 13 pass breakups during his tenure, but his performance dipped last season with a Pro Football Focus grade of 57.8. As the Hurricanes look to enhance their defense, attention turns to the new recruits and existing players stepping up to fill the gaps left by departing talent.
