Could Miami Look To The Transfer Portal For Another Tight End?

The Miami Hurricanes could take a Transfer Portal Tight End

Transcript

00:00 It's not often that you talk about the transfer portal and tight end as a need.

00:05 But with Cam McCormick coming back possibly next year or maybe not, and you having a situation

00:11 where Elijah Arroyo has been banged up and really just been up against it with being

00:16 nicked up as Mario Cristobal has noted in his press conferences, Miami needs to at least

00:21 consider bringing in another transfer portal option.

00:25 This is not a position where Miami is lacking talent, but experience in bulk.

00:30 Raleigh Williams has done a pretty good job as a true freshman, but when you rely on true

00:34 freshmen in any way, shape or form in the trenches, it's a bit iffy.

00:38 Next year he'll be a little more up to the task as will Jackson Carver, his fellow freshman

00:43 teammate and both should contribute.

00:45 But what about Jaleel Skinner?

00:46 He hasn't played a lot this year, hasn't contributed like many people thought, and there's still

00:51 the opportunity to just add more depth to the roster in general.

00:55 Not saying you have to bring in a tight end because they're going to do well each and

00:59 every year.

01:00 Bringing in players at that spot, that's something that Mirabal and Cristobal both like to add

01:06 to that offensive line the way they block.

01:08 McCormick's tremendous at it, but you need a guy like that every year.

01:12 Grown man in the trenches, power football includes an inline blocking tight end.

01:18 Miami might be able to pick up one, even if it's not somebody that is going to go out

01:23 there and just hammer it home in the passing game too.

01:26 McCormick can catch the football, but he's certainly better in the trenches.

01:31 One more guy.

01:32 That's what Miami needs from the transfer portal at the tight end position.
