NFL Draft 2025: Miami Hurricanes Preview and Player Projections
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, all eyes are on the Miami Hurricanes, a program rich in history and once again bursting with NFL-caliber talent. With a blend of explosive offense and physical defense, Miami is poised to make a strong impact on this year’s draft class. Here’s a breakdown of the top Hurricanes prospects and their projected draft outlooks.
Cam Ward – Quarterback
- Height/Weight: 6’2″, 223 lbs
- Draft Projection: Projected No. 1 overall pick
Cam Ward enters the draft as the centerpiece of Miami’s class, a dynamic quarterback who transferred in and immediately elevated the offense. After a record-setting season with 4,313 passing yards, 39 touchdowns, and a staggering 158 career passing TDs, Ward claimed both the ACC Player of the Year and Davey O’Brien Award. His leadership, arm talent, and poise in big moments make him the favorite to go first overall, with the New York Giants rumored to be eyeing a trade up to secure him.
Elijah Arroyo – Tight End
- Height/Weight: 6’4″, 245 lbs
- Draft Projection: Early 2nd round
Arroyo’s size and soft hands make him a valuable weapon in the passing game. He’s proven himself as a red zone threat and a reliable blocker, and teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars—looking to fill a potential void at tight end—are closely monitoring his availability early in Round 2.
Damien Martinez – Running Back
- Height/Weight: 6’0″, 232 lbs
- Draft Projection: Mid-round
