Several Miami upperclassmen could turn pro after this season, and there’s a darn good chance at least two players will be selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. All-American safety Kamren Kinchens is the closest thing Miami has to a sure-fire first rounder, but DT Leonard Taylor, S (sometimes LB) James Williams, DE Akheem Mesidor, and pre-season award-winning transfer interior lineman Matt Lee and Javion Cohen have at least the potential to earn first round grades. Plus, don’t forget, that QB Tyler Van Dyke and T Zion Nelson were generating first-round buzz before the injury bug bit them, and either could resurrect that high draft grade with a bounce back season.
