The Miami Hurricanes were on a trajectory to reach the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game last season for the first time since 2017 after starting 9-0. Then came a late-season collapse that included losses to Georgia Tech and Syracuse that allowed Clemson to leapfrog them into second place in the conference,

Miami coach Mario Cristobal talked to the media yesterday during the ACC media days in Charlotte and said he is confident the team’s year to year improvement since he took over the program will continue in 2025. The team went 5-7 in his first year, 7-6 in his second year, and 10-4 last year, just missing the College Football Playoffs.

The Jai Lucas era of Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball features nine non-conference home games before Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Hurricanes lost both of their starting safeties from last season, but they may have upgraded at the position with transfer acquisitions.

According to the new College Football 26 video game, Carson Beck and Tony Johnson will bond quite well for the Miami Hurricanes.

Carson Beck, a high-profile transfer from Georgia, takes over at quarterback after Cam Ward’s NFL departure. Ward’s 2024 season was record-breaking, with 4,313 passing yards and 39 touchdowns. Beck, now fully recovered from a UCL injury, inherits a strong offensive line and run game, which should ease his transition.

The ACC has some highly-touted returning quarterbacks as well, most notably 4,000-yard passer Cade Klubnik at Clemson and the versatile Kevin Jennings at SMU. Both led their teams to the ACC title game and College Football Playoff berths last season.

The first team to take the podium at ACC Football Kickoff was the Miami Hurricanes. The Hurricanes had representation from head coach Mario Cristobal, quarterback Carson Beck, linebacker Wesley Bissainthe, offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, and defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor.
