Miami is going to be losing their two most productive wide receivers this season, with Mike Harley Jr and Charleston Rambo going to the NFL.

That is going to leave an opening at wide receiver and Miami is going to have some younger players vying for playing time. While Keyshawn Smith and Clemson transfer Frank Ladson will occupy two spots, the other two are going to need someone to step up.

The guy that is going to do that is Romello Brinson. Brinson came to Miami as a coveted recruit in 2020 and while his stats might not be eye-popping, anyone that saw Brinson on the field last season saw of the potential that he had and with an offseason to develop, he should shine next season.

Keep an eye on who Miami hires as its next offensive coordinator because that could be big for any of the receivers’ breakout potential this season.
