Miami wide receiver JoJo Trader recorded his first reception of the 2025 season and had his first touchdown this year on the second drive as the Hurricanes took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter at SMU on Saturday. Trader finished with three receptions for 57 yards and a TD in the first quarter.
Trader played versus Notre Dame and Stanford but did not record a reception. In the 2024 Pop-Tarts Bowl loss to Iowa State, Trader had three receptions for 61 yards and a TD. Before dealing with injuries this season, Trader was expected to be an impact receiver for Miami.
