Miami, FL
REPORT: Two Sun Belt Programs Interested in Miami QB
One of the top quarterbacks in the transfer portal is University of Miami redshirt sophomore Jacurri Brown. Per Steve Wiltfong of On3 Sports, amongst the five teams that have shown interest in the transfer quarterback, Georgia State and Appalachian State have looked into the services of the young quarterback.
TRANSFER PORTAL: Former ACC Linebacker On The Move Again
Brown only saw action in one game for the Miami Hurricanes in 2023, which was their bowl game loss against Rutgers where he threw for 181 yards and one touchdown. He completed 20 of his 31 passes in that game. A bigger sample size to look at would be in 2022, where he played in eight games, throwing for 230 yards and three touchdowns, but three interceptions.
The interest coming from Appalachian State is certainly an interesting one given the play last season from Cure Bowl MVP Joey Aguilar and then the deep quarterback room that they have.
One big factor in this surprising pursuit from App State is former Miami quarterbacks coach Frank Ponce who is currently with the Mountaineers as their offensive coordinator. Brown and Ponce crossed paths in Miami for that lone year he was there, but that one year is important to consider with App State’s interest in Jacurri Brown.
Georgia State’s interest certainly makes a lot more sense given the thin quarterback room that they have. At the moment, redshirt senior and Georgia Tech transfer Zach Gibson is in line to be the starting quarterback, but having someone like Jacurri Brown with multiple years of eligibility remaining on the team is certainly a good building block for future recruitments and transfer portal acquisitions.
The spring transfer portal window closes on April 30.
The contact period for 2028 recruits officially opened on June 15th, and Miami has been active on the recruiting trail.
Now more than ever, recruiting players early matters, with several committing before taking their official visits in their senior season.
Miami has been high on 2028 running back Terriel Harmon for a while, and he discussed the Hurricanes with Miami Hurricanes on SI.

The Hurricanes contacted Harmon almost immediately after the contact period opened and got down to business with him.
“The running backs coach (Coach Merritt) hit me up, and we just talked about the leadership I am going to bring to Miami and the environment of Miami,” Harmon said.
Even before the contact period opened up, Harmon already had a sense of what Miami was like.
“They bring the energy,” Harmon continued. “I love the players like Javian Mallory, Malachi Toney, and Mark Fletcher.”
Mallory is an incoming freshman running back at Miami, and he played high school ball at West Boca. Harmon just transferred to the South Florida power. The two of them have a great connection, and Mallory is recruiting Harmon to join him in college.
“He’s been telling me that Miami is the place to be and that it is great,” Harmon said.
Even though it’s still early in his recruitment, the Hurricanes are still in a prime position for the local three-star running back.
“I’m still not sure where I will go to school, but Miami is for sure at the top,” Harmon finished.
More About the 2028 Class
The 2028 class will be crucial for the future of Miami. Arguably, the two best prospects of the past few years, Amir Sears and Bryson Wright, are right in the Hurricanes’ backyard, and the two could change the course of Hurricanes football if they come.
Overall, the 2028 class in Florida might be one of the best in any state ever. There is so much talent throughout the state, and Miami is looking to get a class that rivals this 2027 class, which is the top three in the country per Rivals.
Some other in-state prospects that the Hurricanes are targeting include Gabriel Player (four-star linebacker), Asher Ghioto (four-star defensive lineman), Antonio Thompson Jr. (four-star defensive back), and George Selvie (four-star offensive lineman), amongst a ton of others.
While Harmon is only a three-star now, it would not be surprising if he becomes a four-star by the end of his senior season.
