The Miami Hurricanes are rolling with the 2024 recruiting class the Transfer Portal. The latest commitment would be Savion Riley from Vanderbilt.

The true freshman must be a fast learner. His 2023 statistics are as follows: 34 solo and 14 assisted tackles playing for the Commodores.

He's originally from Acworth (Ga.) Kennesaw Mountain. A 3-star recruit out of high school, Riley is proof that scouting is hard, especially with relation to how fast a young man can pick up a playbook and produce.

Riley is listed at 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds. It will be interesting to see if he ends up playing more toward the line of scrimmage or if he's better as a traditional free safety who acts as a centerfielder.

It's also good to land Riley with Miami losing quality talent off of its 2023 defense like Kamren Kinchens at safety. Riley could be a major part of the Canes bringing more talent back into the fold.
