Mario Cristobal's Miami Hurricanes had an interesting 2023 season, showing great potential. The Hurricanes' 7-5 record doesn't truly reflect how good they were this season, nor the fact that it's the first time in over a decade that they have had national relevance.
Their big break came early in the season when they got a 48-33 upset over the Texas A&M Aggies. They also beat Clemson and lost by only one score to the undefeated Florida State.
However, unexpected losses to Georgia Tech and both North Carolina programs brought them down. On Thursday, they face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in the Pinstripe Bowl.
Looking to improve their stellar performance from the year, the Hurricanes have been active on the transfer portal. Let's review their transfer portal moves.
