Miami DL Joshua Horton plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Miami defensive lineman Joshua Horton plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett. The 6 foot 5, 295-pounder will have three years of eligbility remaining.

Horton appeared in eight games for the Hurricanes, but logged stats in three of those matchups. He totaled four tackles (two solo) as a freshman.

Before college, Horton was a three-star recruit, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 421 overall recruit in his class, as well as the No. 47 defensive lineman in his cycle.

Miami finished Horton’s true freshman season with a 10-3 record, which included two losses to end the season. They finished 6-2 against ACC competition, finishing in third place in the final conference standings. However, Miami would fall just short of making the College Football Playoffs.

Carson Beck injury update: Mario Cristobal updates status moving into Summer

New Miami quarterback Carson Beck wasn’t able to do much during spring practice while still rehabbing from a UCL elbow injury suffered in the 2024 SEC Championship Game last December. But as the Hurricanes turn to the page from spring to summer, the former Georgia transfer is expected to be cleared to resume physical activities beginning Monday, according to ‘Canes head coach Mario Cristobal.

“The good part is, as our PLP — our player-led practices — come up, he’s going to be fully cleared for all of those, so he’ll have the opportunity to have about 16 of those before we even head into fall camp,” Cristobal told reporters Saturday following the conclusion of spring practice. “Not to mention going on his own with the players. So there’s a lot of opportunity coming up. He certainly took advantage of whatever he could mentally, the physical part begins on Monday. So we’re excited for that.”

Sporting a new No. 11 practice jersey this spring, Beck has been limited to running and select throwing exercises as part of his rehab after undergoing surgery to repair the UCL in his throwing elbow suffered on the final play of the first half of Georgia’s win over Texas in last season’s SEC Championship Game.
