BREAKING: Miami Hurricanes Sign 5-Star QB from Albany via Transfer Portal Boosting 2025 Roster
The Miami Hurricanes have made a significant addition to their roster by securing a commitment from Reese Poffenbarger, a standout quarterback from the University at Albany. Poffenbarger, who led the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in passing touchdowns (36) and passing yards (3,603) during the 2023 season, entered the transfer portal and has now chosen to bring his talents to Miami.
Poffenbarger’s impressive performance at Albany earned him recognition as a third-team All-American, and he leaves the program as the school’s all-time leader in touchdown passes. His decision to transfer to Miami comes after a standout season where he guided Albany to the FCS semifinals, showcasing his ability to perform at a high level and lead his team deep into postseason play.
At Miami, Poffenbarger will join a quarterback room that has seen recent changes. Notably, former Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, who started for the Hurricanes from 2021 to 2023, transferred to Wisconsin for the 2024 season but has now committed to SMU for his sixth season.
Poffenbarger’s arrival adds depth and competition to the Hurricanes’ quarterback position as they prepare for the upcoming season. His proven track record and leadership qualities are expected to make a significant impact on Miami’s offensive capabilities
