The Miami football team entered the 2019 season with a very young roster. The inexperience that the Hurricanes have in their program is one of the reasons that Manny Diaz sought out the transfer portal in his first offseason as the head coach of the Miami football program. Several of the transfers have become leaders.
K.J. Osborn has been the biggest influence in the locker room for the Miami football team. Osborn is second on the Hurricanes with 27 receptions and 324 yards. The graduate transfer from Buffalo leads the Hurricanes with four touchdown receptions.
