Miami:

Miami had an interesting season; they finished the season with a 7-5 record. They started 4-4 and then finished 3-5 with losses to Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, North Carolina, and NC State. There is no shame in those losses. Cristobal is slowly but surely turning this school back into something better.

Anyway, the Hurricanes had eight portal entries. The biggest is quarterback Tyler Van Dyke. Van Dyke had 2,703 passing yards and 19 passing touchdowns. From what I know, Van Dyke is visiting Wisconsin. The Badgers are hoping he will be Tanner Mordecai’s replacement.

NC State:

The Wolfpack started the season with a 3-2 record, with losses to Notre Dame and Louisville. They end the season with a 6-1 record, with the only loss being at Duke. NC State was the third-best team in the ACC this season. All of their losses were against ranked teams; there is no shame in that. NC State will now play #25 Kansas State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. This will be a great game.

The player I think is the best is MJ Morris, the sophomore quarterback out of Carrollton, Georgia. Morris did not start the season as Virginia transfer Brennan Armstrong did, but Morris took over throughout the season.

From everything that I have read, it seems like Morris might end up at LSU. The Tigers held an in-home visit with Morris. He also visited Maryland. It will be a race between the Tigers and the Terps.
