National college football analyst Josh Pate of 247 Sports named tight end Elijah Arroyo as his projected breakout star for the Miami football program in 2023. Arroyo has 10 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns during college career. In his first two seasons with Miami Arroyo was the backup to Will Mallory.
After playing in all 12 games as a true freshman in 2021, Arroyo was lost for the season after four games in 2022. Pate compares the potential for Arroyo and how offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson will use him to Georgia All-American TE Brock Bowers.
