Miami Superstar Ranked as the Best Freshman in the Country
The Miami Hurricanes are looking to get back on track against the Stanford Cardinals and it starts with one of the best players on the team having an eltric day.
Malachi Toney has been the best wide receiver to come out of Coral Gables in some time. In a new ranking from ESPN, Toney sits at the top among all other freshmen in the country as the best.
1. Malachi Toney, WR, Miami
One of the youngest players in the country, Toney reclassified into Miami’s 2025 class and wasted no time proving he was undervalued as a three-star recruit. Even in an upset loss to Louisville, he was a bright spot with nine catches for 135 yards, a 12-yard reverse for a TD, and a 2-point conversion pass. Toney already has a knack for showing up against the Hurricanes’ toughest opponents.
He averaged 85 yards per game against Miami’s three AP Top 25 opponents, and he tallied a then-career-high 107 yards and two touchdowns in the Canes’ 28-22 win over Florida State. At 5-foot-11 and 188 pounds, he has become Carson Beck‘s most reliable target, leading Miami in receptions (38) and yards (510) through six games. Both of those marks rank in the top 10 in the ACC. With secure hands, quickness after the catch and fearlessness in traffic, Toney looks like Miami’s next great playmaker.
2. Malik Washington, QB, Maryland Terrapins
3. Bear Bachmeier, QB, BYU Cougars
4. Bryce Underwood, QB, Michigan Wolverines
5. Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, QB, California Golden Bears
6. Dakorien Moore, WR, Oregon Ducks
7. Michael Carroll, OL, Alabama Crimson Tide
8. Bo Jackson, RB, Ohio State Buckeyes
9. Nate Sheppard, RB, Duke Blue Devils
10. Dontrell Glover, OG, Georgia Bulldogs
11. Brandon Finney Jr., CB, Oregon Ducks
12. Demetres Samuel Jr., CB, Syracuse Orange
13. Zahir Mathis, DE, Maryland Terrapins, and Sidney Stewart, DE, Maryland Terrapins
14. Graceson Littleton, CB, Texas Longhorns
15. Michael Fasusi, OT, Oklahoma Sooners
Toney is on pace to break nearly every freshman record in program history. So far this season, He has 38 receptions, 510 receiving yards, and three touchdowns.
He also leading the country with the most receptions without a drop among all FBS receivers.

Video shows arrest of ex-North Miami school worker accused of showing explicit photo to student
NORTH MIAMI, Fla. — New video obtained exclusively by Local 10 News on Thursday shows the arrest of a former maintenance worker who also worked as a security guard at Mater Academy in North Miami who authorities say is accused of showing an explicit photo to a 15-year-old student.

North Miami police say 61-year-old Adolfo Eusebio Cotarelo is seen in cafeteria surveillance video holding up his phone as he spoke to the victim on Oct. 10 in the charter school’s cafeteria.
Investigators said he allegedly showed her a photo of himself in bed next to a woman wearing only a bra and made sexually explicit comments.
“Look at his face — disgusting, disgusting individual,” a parent said after seeing the video.
According to North Miami police, Cotarelo was arrested five days later at the school.
Additional body camera video shows him being led into a room at the North Miami Police Department before officers place him in handcuffs. He had the word “maintenance” printed across his shirt.
Authorities say Cotarelo asked the girl inappropriate questions, including how she would “please herself,” and told her she could use a secluded area of the school’s third floor to be alone with a boy she liked.
“He really is disgusting. I wish these things wouldn’t happen, but what can you do?” another parent stated.
Police said Cotarelo’s statements during questioning “changed constantly,” though he admitted to several details the victim described.
Surveillance video confirmed that he approached the student in the cafeteria and appeared to show her something on his cellphone.
Investigators fear there may be additional victims.
In a statement, Mater Academy Biscayne North Miami High School said:
“Upon learning of inappropriate comments made by a staff member to a student, we immediately conducted an investigation with law enforcement. The individual has been removed from their position and will not return. Student safety remains our top priority.”
“I’m just glad they caught him and he’s off the streets,” another parent told Local 10’s Rosh Lowe.
Jail records show Cotarelo, of Hialeah, faces a charge of child abuse without great bodily harm. He was initially booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and released on a $5,000 bond.
Police continue to investigate and urge anyone with information about additional incidents to contact the NMPD at 305- 891-0294.

ORLANDO. Fla. — The Miami Heat opened the 2025–26 regular season on the road Wednesday, falling to the in-state rival Orlando Magic, 125–121, in a back-and-forth matchup.
Norman Powell led Miami with 28 points in his Heat debut, while Bam Adebayo added 15 points and 12 rebounds.
The Heat came out strong, scoring 39 points in the first quarter and hitting 6 of 11 from 3-point range to take a 39–38 lead — the highest-scoring quarter in the 143-game history between the teams.
Miami cooled off in the second quarter, scoring just 26 points as Orlando took a 69–65 lead into halftime.
The Heat’s shooting struggles continued in the second half, hitting only 1 of 8 from beyond the arc in the third, though their defense kept the game close. Miami led 91–90 entering the fourth quarter.
The Heat built a seven-point lead midway through the final period but went more than four minutes without a field goal. Jalen Suggs put the Magic ahead for good with a midrange jumper with 58.7 seconds remaining.
The loss marked Miami’s second straight season-opening defeat against Orlando.
The Heat look to bounce back Friday when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies.
