Sam Brown of Houston is a very successful wide receiver who Miami recently acquired.
Officially, Miami boasts one of the best wide receiver rooms in the nation.
To close up a four-day commitment run for the Hurricanes, former Houston wide receiver Sam Brown said on Sunday night that he was ending his recruitment and completing his college career at Miami.
During his official visit earlier this week, Texas A&M hosted the 6-foot-2, 195-pound player, who ultimately chose the Canes.
“Just the people. The people over here are just genuine. Not too much you miss that you will find somewhere else. Everything that you need is going to be here connection wise, football wise. They got everything in your face for you,” Brown told InsideTheU on Sunday.
With Brown on board, the Hurricanes now roster three wide receivers who caught for over 800 yards a season ago, a tailback in Damien Martinez who ran for nearly 1,200 yards and nine scores, and a quarterback in Cam Ward
Ward and Brown have already connected with the two throwing in Houston together shortly after Brown entered the portal. The natural connection between those two helped push Brown to Coral Gables and the Miami staff to Brown.
“The session went amazing,” Brown said. “I feel like that’s another reason they recruited me. The throwing session went damn near excellent. It’s like we didn’t miss a beat. Timing was cool and whatnot. The session we had going, it was smooth. He’s coming out there again this weekend, so we going to hit it off again. Cam is, you know this, he’s elite.”
A commitment to Miami also means reuniting with offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson, who Brown played under during the 2022 season where he had a breakthrough campaign. That season, after transferring into Houston from West Virginia and not catching more than ten balls in a season, Brown totaled 471 yards on 41 catches with four touchdowns.
“It was very important for me with this decision because I feel like my decision is going to set me up for the next ten months. I just wanted to go to a program that I’m familiar with and I’m going to get the value, not have to change who I am too much. I already fit the culture. I’m a southern boy being from Savannah, Georgia. Being in Miami, it’s not too different. I just want to be comfortable,” Brown said.
who is considered one of the best returning signal-callers in college football.
Brown, who 247Sports considers the No. 10 wideout in the transfer portal across both the winter and spring window, is excited for what’s to come.
“Real lethal. Y’all going to see. It’s going to be real lethal, real lethal,” Brown said.
Brown joins a group that already includes two of the best returning pass catchers in the ACC in Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George, as well as Isaiah Horton, a promising young player about whom everyone is excited, Robby Washington and Nathaniel Joseph in their second years, and Joshisa Trader, Ny Carr, and Chance Robinson as true freshmen.
Brown, who joined Ward and Martinez as the third player in the Top 100 of the 247Sports transfer rankings, is the seventh blue-chip prospect added by Miami in the past two transfer windows.
