The Hurricanes went out and hit the portal hard at receiver and offensive line. At wide receiver, Miami recruited Cooper Barkate from Duke, Mensah’s top receiver, South Carolina’s No. 2 receiver, Vandrevivus Jacobs, and West Virginia’s leading wide out, Cam Vaughn.

Familiarity with the team's offense can aid other returners, such as Notre Dame's CJ Carr ($0.11), Texas' Arch Manning ($0.10), Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss ($0.08) and Ohio State's Julian Sayin ($0.07).
