BYU WR transfer Keelan Marion commits to Miami

[Golsen82]

Better than nothing. Don’t expect much from a guy that had just one reception in 7/12 games last season, and hasn’t surpassed 56 receiving yards in a single game against FBS competition in two years.

But at worst, he elevates special teams. That much is certain.

Welcome to the U.

Byu a well coach team . Love it

Make that three transfer portal commits in one day for the Hurricanes.

On Saturday afternoon, transfer wide receiver Keelan Marion announced his commitment to Miami. After visiting UM earlier this week, he is now the 13th addition from the transfer portal for the Hurricanes this offseason.

The 6-foot, 195-pound wide receiver from Atlanta, Georgia, committed to Miami, choosing them over interest from Arizona State, SMU, Kentucky, Colorado, Notre Dame, Penn State, Baylor, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, and FSU, among others.

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.

Welcome to Miami!

Now this is a move I really like

Versatile players are worth their weight in gold. Miami hasn't had an explosive kick returner in years, this young man should fill that role. If he can find a way to break into the rotation at receiver, that's even more value. I'm good with this take.

 

[WestGA'Cane]

The frequency with which we pound the rock between the tackles could open some explosive jet sweeps with this dude.

 

[CanesFan20]

He apparently is very explosive, looks like he could fit a need as a gadget guy for us.

 

[CaneLos]

We just added an All American kick returner. That's big time.

Welcome to the U.

So he can’t have a breakout year like that pena guy y’all been drooling over? What had he done up until last season?

 

[Paranos]

I hope he isn't scheduled to take his mission trip in 2025...

He must be have "soaked" up all he could in provo, Utah and now wants to stroke some South Florida co-ed talent while cashing a bigger NIL check in his final college season before heading to the NFL.

Go Canes

Great special teams addition, good depth, and adds dynamic deep threat ability to the offense. Looks like he takes handoffs too. Solid weapon to have for Dawson.

 

[DemCanes10]

LMAO!!

Miami fans are the only fans in this history of fandom to complain about an All American at a position of need. Complain about special teams and complain about Ray Ray… Mario adds an All American returner and the Miami Fan Coaches Association immediately ***** on it.

Let me know when Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones type enter the portal

 

[FrancisSawyer]

We still in contact with his teammate Taggart as well? I’d take another LB.

I certainly don't think we are done at LB or even WR for that matter. It just depends on who shows up in the portal next week.

I think we still go for another wr. Not a slot.

 

[Juanmanuel V]

I like his athletic profile. Good add imo.

Think he can be deep Vertical Threat,noitice he is adept at catching deep post balls & reverse & jet Sweep.
He is not the Outside- WR1 we seek but
He does add explosiveness .
