Locked On Canes - Daily Podcast On Miami Hurricanes Football & Basketball

Who will be the next young breakout star for the Miami Hurricanes in 2024? Last season, edge rusher Rueben Bain caught the attention of the nation as a true freshman. So did running back Mark Fletcher. So far, in Hurricanes spring practices, freshman receivers JoJo Trader and Ny Carr have looked excellent. Freshman safety Zaquan Patterson has looked good, too. There are ascending sophomores as well like receiver Ray Ray Joseph.

Host Alex Donno and guest Dante from Q Sports Media recap what they saw in Miami’s second spring practice. Dante explains why Xavier Restrepo’s one-handed catch from Cam Ward was so impressive. Donno and Dante explain why they will be closely watching players like Josh Horton, Markel Bell, Isaiah Horton, Zach Carpenter and Elijah Alston in the next practice. Dante discusses why 2026 quarterback Dia Bell is such an important target for Miami in recruiting.
