Miami and coach Mario Cristobal have just secured another experienced wide receiver from the transfer portal, as Cincinnati slot receiver Tony Johnson has committed to the team.

Tony is a three-star transfer portal wide receiver. Although he was not rated out of high school, he hails from Ocala, Florida, which is about five hours away from Miami's campus in Coral Gables.

Tony is a 5-foot-11, 185-pound receiver who recorded 48 receptions for 449 yards last season. Johnson was a key player for Cincinnati during his lone season with the program, having transferred from FAU last year.

During his time at FAU, he recorded a total of 669 receiving yards over two years, catching 60 passes and scoring seven touchdowns.

Tony now joins a huge transfer portal class by Mario Cristobal.

Welcome to the family.

I guarantee they ain’t spending that much. This addition would not stop them from adding someone elite if that player presented themselves.… also he is better than RayRay and Toney is a freshman

We don’t know if he is better Than Toney.For all we know Toney Starts day 1 doesn’t look back. Right now Toney is Slot 1.

think about this KJ Osborn was the last receiver drafted from Miami in 2020. The last one that was drafted that was not a transfer was Berrios in 2018. This is what you get as a result. I am not shocked the least

Ouch, two receivers drafted in the last 8 years. I thought it would have been more. Now do Bama, LSU and Ohio State since then. Just kidding, don’t do that. I don’t to be more depressed.

Our receiving corps this past season was one of our best in a while. Makes you wonder now how much of that was because of Cam Ward.

Veteran depth. Not a WR1 by any means but somebody who has played real P4 snaps. We had too many walk-on reps in spring.

I don’t think this will block Toney or the other freshmen WR if they keep on their current trajectory. But it’s insurance if they don’t or if somebody gets hurt.

Probably a nice addition to the depth chart/locker room... just doesn't move the needle for CIS.

Welcome. Tell Uncle Andre we send our love.

You think it’s likely at least one of the freshman RS?

Simply put, the staff swung and missed a ton in the Spring portal. It definitely wasn't for a lack of effort, but man what an ugly result.

please enlighten us on who you're whining about

Unless he returns kicks or some sleeper type transfer.. why spend on this dude versus developing your young talented WR’s and avoid losing them to the portal.

If a guy isn’t a difference maker not sure why a take like this is worth it

Agree he averages about 30 catches 300 yards a year all 3 of the freshman Ny carr, Chance... the young guys with no production they all could give us that! I think its more about numbers we had 8 guys i think now 10. I think Marion will be a good weapon for us this dude a depth piece. Never know i hope Jojo shows out this year were going to need him to thats for **** sure
