Breaking:No. 1 American WR Dylan Goffney Announces Resignation from Colorado State, Commits to Miami Hurricanes due to…

In one of the summer’s most unexpected moves, No. 1 American wide receiver Dylan Goffney has officially announced his resignation from Colorado State Rams and a stunning commitment to the Miami Hurricanes. The rising star receiver, reportedly “annoyed” with internal program challenges and coaching staff instability at Colorado State, now looks to rejuvenate his career and maximize his potential in the ACC under head coach Mario Cristobal.

The news broke early Wednesday morning when Goffney released a statement on social media:

> “After much thought, prayer, and discussions with my family and mentors, I’ve decided to resign from Colorado State University. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity I was given there and all the relationships I’ve built, but at this time, I need to follow a new path that will allow me to fully develop as a player and person. I’m excited to announce that I will be continuing my college football career with the University of Miami Hurricanes. Let’s work.

The Colorado State Chapter

Goffney, a former 4-star recruit from Allen, Texas, transferred to Colorado State two seasons ago after a solid stint with SMU. Expectations were high that he would emerge as one of the premier receivers in the Mountain West. And while Goffney posted respectable numbers — 59 receptions for 817 yards and 8 touchdowns last season — sources close to the program suggest a disconnect between the coaching staff’s vision and Goffney’s role in the offense.

One CSU insider shared:

> “There was tension building for months. Dylan is an elite route runner and wants to be featured more. The offensive scheme wasn’t maximizing his skillset, and with coaching changes and uncertainty, he felt it was time to look elsewhere.”

Adding to the frustration was the recent turnover in the CSU offensive coaching staff and ongoing rumors of a system overhaul that didn’t align with Goffney’s strengths.

Why Miami?

The Hurricanes have been aggressive on the recruiting and transfer portal front, seeking to rebuild a receiver corps capable of competing at the national level. Sources inside the Miami program confirm that the Hurricanes’ staff had been in communication with Goffney and his representatives for weeks, positioning the U as an ideal landing spot.

Head coach Mario Cristobal’s offensive vision — an up-tempo, pro-style attack — reportedly appealed strongly to Goffney. Quarterback Shawqi Itraish’s arrival to Miami, himself a recent top transfer, also played a role in luring the receiver south.

A Miami staff member said:

> “We believe Dylan can be a true WR1 in our system. His ability to separate from defenders, strong hands, and understanding of the game will give our offense a huge boost.”

Goffney is expected to compete immediately for a starting role on the outside, where Miami has sought more consistency and playmaking.

Reactions from the College Football World

The move sent ripples across the college football landscape. Recruiting analysts quickly labeled the pickup as a significant win for Miami:

“This is a major get for the Hurricanes,” said 247Sports national recruiting director Steve Wiltfong. “Goffney is a polished receiver with Power Five experience who can help elevate Miami’s aerial attack right away.”

Meanwhile, some CSU fans expressed disappointment but wished Goffney well on his next chapter.

What’s Next for Goffney?

Dylan Goffney is expected to enroll at Miami this summer and participate in offseason workouts with the team. If all eligibility paperwork is processed without issue, he will be available for the Hurricanes’ 2025 season opener.

Goffney himself remains focused on improving his craft. In a brief follow-up post, he stated:

> “I’m locked in and ready to work. I want to help bring Miami back to the top where this program belongs.”

For a Miami Hurricanes team looking to make noise in the ACC and return to national prominence, the addition of Dylan Goffney could prove pivotal. Fans will certainly be eager to see how the talented wide receiver performs under the bright lights of Hard Rock Stadium this fall.
