It was not cheap for the Miami Hurricanes to land their starting quarterback for the 2025 season on the transfer portal.

The Miami Hurricanes were able to record their first double-digit win season in 2024 since the 2017 campaign in large part because of their success on the transfer portal last offseason.
Their prized recruit was quarterback Cam Ward, who transferred to Coral Gables from the Washington State Cougars. Before that, he was playing with Incarnate Word.
To land the prized signal caller in the transfer portal, the Hurricanes agreed to an NIL deal that would pay him $1.5 million. Just a year later, the going rate for such accomplished players has skyrocketed.
In need of a quarterback to replace Ward, who is in the running to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami came away with one of the better options available.
Former Georgia Bulldogs star Carson Beck committed to the program on Friday afternoon. And according to Josh Moser, a sportscaster and host based in Miami, it cost a lot of money to bring him aboard.
He will reportedly be paid $4 million as part of his NIL package to join the Hurricanes for the 2025 season. That is more than twice the amount it cost to land Ward just a year ago, as the ever-changing landscape of college football is getting more and more expensive.
That was a bar set by Darian Mensah, who had a stellar redshirt freshman season with the Tulane Green Wave and opted to hit the portal. He landed with the Duke Blue Devils, who made him the unofficial highest-paid player in college football with a reported two-year, $8 million deal.
Replacing someone who finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy race, was named an All-American, ACC Offensive Player of the Year and ACC Player of the Year will not be an easy task.
