A prized recruit, rated a five-star prospect in the 2018 class by Rivals out of Miami Southridge, Miami Hurricanes junior wide receiver Mark Pope was struggling to see results through his first two-plus seasons in college.
Now, it has come together quickly for Pope in recent weeks. He posted career highs in receptions (six) and yards (97) while scoring just his third touchdown at UM in Friday night’s 44-41 win at North Carolina State, reminding observers why he was so touted coming out of high school.
“I’m feeling confident, feeling back to normal, back to happy, feeling like Mark Pope again,” Pope said after Tuesday’s practice.
