Miami tight end Alex Bauman filing for TRO, plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

Miami tight end Alex Bauman has initiated legal proceedings against the NCAA, citing a request for a temporary restraining order. The veteran player, who spent the 2025 season with the Hurricanes, has now decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3's Hayes Fawcett. Bauman began his college football career at Tulane before transferring to Miami ahead of the 2025 season.

During his time at Miami, he played as a contributor, catching 18 passes for 166 yards and one touchdown in the previous year. Over his four-year collegiate career at both Tulane and Miami, Bauman amassed 81 receptions for 776 yards and 14 touchdowns. Originally from New Jersey, Bauman attended high school at Red Bank Catholic. The prospect of entering the Transfer Portal presents Bauman with the chance to seek out a new college football home, leveraging his experience and production at both Tulane and Miami.

His ability to contribute as a reliable pass receiver, particularly in scoring touchdowns, could make him an attractive option for programs in search of additional assistance at the tight end position. Fans and observers can follow Bauman's next moves through On3's Transfer Portal wire, as well as his official Transfer Portal Instagram account and X (formerly Twitter) account for the most recent updates on his college football journey.
