According to BYU transfer wide receiver Keelan Marion, he said on Twitter that he has been in contact with the Miami Hurricanes since entering the transfer portal, and they have made him an offer.

The 6-foot, 195-pound wide receiver hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, has also received interest from Arizona State and SMU since he entered the transfer portal yesterday.

Marion recorded 24 catches for 346 yards and scored one touchdown last season. He rushed for 96 yards on 21 attempts. He received All-American recognition for his kick returns, averaging 26.2 yards per return, and racked up two touchdowns on kick returns.

Marion began his journey at UConn, where during his first year, he made 28 catches for 474 yards and scored 5 touchdowns. After spending two seasons at BYU, he is now entering the transfer portal.

Maybe he’s a big fan of “soaking” and “jump humping”

Never heard of those two terms.
Is this something I should Google on my laptop attached to big screen next to where my wife is sitting? Asking for a friend.

If Keelan Marion can provide similar production as Sam Brown (they both averaged 14 yards per catch) while being a real threat in the return game, this will be a major upgrade.

2025 WR vs 2024
CJ Daniels replace Horton (push, with potential to be an upgrade if CJ returns to post injury form)

Keelan Marion replace Brown (the return ability alone makes him an upgrade)

Trebor Pena replace X (push, simply because every slot for the past 4 seasons, regardless of the QB went for over 1,000 in Dawson’s offense)

JoJo replace George (push or upgrade, if he just doesn’t make stupid penalties)

Bonus
*Keelan Marion replace Ray Ray as returner* (Marion was an All American returner and Ray Ray was #35)

Funniest possible thing is this kid comes here, we give him a single digit #, he barely plays receiver but is the return guy and he ends up having to wear the big oversized 35 jersey…and he starts housing punts in it.

A lot of your aren't interested unless they racked up 1000k yards and 10 TDs for a P4 team. We need WRs 3-5 too. I don't hate what we have but I understand the need for some more experience in the rotation.

This is a better football player than Sam Brown with 2 years of eligibility

Feel like we've been dismal as KR/PR for too long. Earlier poster is right that risk/reward at KR is iffy these days with the number of penalties we get but with a gamebreaker back there and offense not as elite as last year w/o Cam, risk is worth it. No more Ray ray. Sign him up

I would be happy to add him. But:

- He doesn't return punts
- CJ averaged ~24.5 yards per kick return, Marion averaged ~26 yards (albeit with two touchdowns)
- His career receiving production is dwarfed by Sam Brown.
- His high-water mark was 3 for 61 against Southern Illinois in the season opener.

Would be happy to add him, but if we are unwilling to offer someone like David Stone big money because we are spending it on "proven" wide receivers, this guy ain't it.

I don’t even need Pena. If it’s a resource crunch. Defense all day. Ray Ray and Toney will be fine

this would be a great pickup if he can give us 1 or 2 td's on return game and 25 catches for 400 yards and few td'. He has very good long speed, so he can stretch the field and open up thing underneath. I think he is a stronger and little faster than sam brown.

SAM BROWN IS A 4.4 GUY SO HES FASTER THAN THAT? I DONT THINK.

Switching from BYU/Utah like atmosphere to Miami should be seamless
