The Miami Hurricanes are getting a visit starting today from Washington State safety Adrian Wilson, coming on the heels of UM landing its first DB commitment of the portal cycle in safety Zechariah Poyser out of Jacksonville State.

Miami is looking for help at safety and corner this cycle given the issues last season in the defensive backfield. The team added Washington transfer S Meesh Powell for this past season, but he was up-and-down and is out of eligibility. Jaden Harris struggled as the other safety starter, and the other returners at the position on the roster are Markeith Williams, who had limited reps, and true freshman Zaquan Patterson, who shined at times in limited reps. Otherwise guys that didn’t play much as true freshmen were Dylan Day and Isaiah Thomas. True freshmen just added to the team on signing day at safety were Bryce Fitzgerald and Amari Wallace.

Hence the push for safeties in the portal.

As for Wilson? The 6-1, 206-pounder has three years of eligibility remaining, and this past season he was fourth on the team with 47 tackles, 2.5 for losses, along with three pass breakups and a forced fumble.

Per Pro Football Focus he played 484 reps and graded out at 68.7 percent overall with a 71.5 run defense grade, 60.4 tackle grade and 67.4 cover grade. He was noted with 14 missed tackles, and when targeted in the pass game allowed 19 completions in 22 targets for 202 yards with three TDs and no interceptions.

As a freshman in 2023 out of Dallas (Tex.) Keller Central High School, where he was a 3-star, he had six tackles in four games off the bench.

So we’ll continue to monitor what direction this one goes in.
