Miami Hurricanes preseason football preparations

Overview

The Miami Hurricanes began their preseason preparations with media day in Coral Gables, centered on new quarterback Darian Mensah. Following the departure of Carson Beck to the NFL, Mensah has emerged as a preseason Heisman favorite as the team targets an ACC title and a return to the College Football Playoff.

As the preseason fall camp progressed, the team’s focus shifted toward specific positional developments. On the defensive line, players including Armondo Blount, Marquise Lightfoot, and Justin Scott are working to maintain previous production standards, with Damon Wilson II emphasizing leadership. Offensively, while Malachi Toney and Cooper Barakate are established at wide receiver, a competition has developed for the third receiver position between Joshua Moore and Daylyn Upshaw. The team is currently preparing for its season opener against Stanford on September 4.
