The Hurricanes are well represented at the Senior Bowl and East-West game with Bain and Mauioga projected as easy first-rounders, while Carson Beck's decision not to participate has Joe calling him the “mystery man” of this year's draft.

Miami Hurricanes reload through the Portal with pass-rushing specialist Damon Wilson; adding quarterback Darian Mensah is also expected. That would spark national championship buzz for 2026.

The addition of Wilson, after standout SEC performances, transforms the defensive front, potentially making Miami's defensive line one of the nation's best.Brian Smith breaks down the impact of losing key starters like Akheem Mesidor and Rueben Bain, Jrl, the offensive line's challenges, and Miami's aggressive Transfer Portal strategy.
