The U is back in the spotlight—and not just on the field. The Miami Hurricanes are making major waves in the transfer portal, stacking up elite talent and strengthening their roster with eye-catching additions that have the college football world talking.
A Star Safety and a Superstar Entrance
One of the biggest headlines? A.J. Haulcy, the dynamic safety from Houston and 2024 First-Team All-Big 12 selection, is eyeing Coral Gables as his next destination. His recent visit to Miami turned heads—not only because of his on-field accolades but also thanks to his VIP escort: Miami rap mogul Rick Ross.
Haulcy is reportedly seeking a lucrative NIL deal nearing $1 million, with insiders predicting the final number to land around $750,000. A proven playmaker with NFL potential, Haulcy could be a game-changer in Miami’s secondary if the deal closes.
A Legacy Under Center
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are keeping it in the family with the commitment of quarterback Vinny Gonzalez, the son of Miami legend Joaquin Gonzalez. The younger Gonzalez brings talent and tradition, reinforcing the quarterback room while continuing the program’s proud legacy of generational excellence.
Top 5 Transfer Class—And Climbing
Thanks to strategic spring additions, Miami’s transfer portal class has surged into the national Top 5. With elite talent arriving on both sides of the ball, this roster reload is expected to deliver immediate results. Coach Mario Cristobal and his staff are building not just for this season—but for a return to national prominence.
