Miami Hurricanes Dismiss 4-Star WR From Program Weeks Before Season Opener
One of the Miami Hurricanes' top transfer portal additions was cut from the program before ever playing a down for the team.
The Miami Hurricanes recently made a surprising move by dismissing four-star wide receiver Cam Vaughn from their program, weeks before the season opener. This decision came during a radio interview with "The Joe Rose Show" on WQAM, where head coach Mario Cristobal announced the news. The reason behind Vaughn's dismissal was not disclosed.
Vaughn, who had a successful college career with 35 catches, 541 yards, and four touchdowns last season at West Virginia, and 83 receptions, 1,344 yards, and nine scores in two seasons, was expected to play a significant role in Miami's offense in 2026. The Hurricanes now face the challenge of replacing key players such as Atlanta Falcons rookie Keelan Marion, Los Angeles Rams rookie C.J.
Daniels, and NC State receiver Joshisa Trader. However, they can still count on returning freshman Malachi Toney, who had an outstanding freshman year with 109 receptions, 1,211 yards, and 10 touchdowns, as well as four-star wide receivers Cooper Barkate and Vandrevius Jacobs.
