Miami Hurricanes WR Jeremiah Payton was practice star who never developed

Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Jeremiah Payton announced his entry into the transfer portal on Friday. Payton was a star in practice for Miami who developed beyond that. A 2019 signee, Payton was the 54th ranked player nationally, 10th best WR and nine in Florida. Payton announced his departure from Miami in August.

The initial announcement was that Payton was taking a leave of absence for personal reasons. Payton played in 11 games in his two seasons with the Miami Hurricanes recording six receptions for 58 yards and one carry for seven. Payton initially signed with Miami under former WRs coach Ron Dugans.
