Eye on the U: Talking Carson Beck, Corey Hetherman and Xavier Lucas
They got their quarterback. They got their defensive coordinator. And they got a top-end local cornerback via transfer — although the last one is causing a bit of controversy.
It’s been a busy couple weeks for the Miami Hurricanes.
So on the latest episode of Eye on the U, Miami Herald Hurricanes beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre C. Fernandez dive into all of the news, including...
▪ The Hurricanes getting Carson Beck in the transfer portal after he seemed destined to go to the NFL Draft.
▪ Corey Hetherman, who has two decades of coaching experience and forged his path by starting out at the Division III level, being named the Hurricanes’ defensive coordinator.
▪ And Xavier Lucas, a former Plantation American Heritage star, transferring to UM from Wisconsin ... without actually entering the transfer portal, all while Wisconsin is disputing the move and claiming wrongdoing by Miami.
McPherson and Fernandez also recap the national championship game and what the 12-team College Football Playoff showed us about what the Hurricanes need to do to be able to contend for a title down the road.
