Receiving weapons galore: 5 breakout candidates in the Hurricanes’ passing game

A deep receiver and tight end room has been historically synonymous with University of Miami football, producing college football legends like Michael Irvin in the 1980s and Andre Johnson in the early 2000s.

LSU transfer CJ Daniels and true freshman Malachi Toney have lived up to these high standards, putting up big numbers as the Hurricanes’ top two receivers this season.

However, there is a significant drop in receiving production beyond what Daniels and Toney have done this season.

Toney has exploded into the college football scene from the slot with 562 yards and three touchdowns in his first seven games, while Daniels has been on the receiving end of over 300 yards and six touchdowns.
