Carson Beck & CJ Daniels Break Internet as Mario Cristobal Hits Double Transfer Portal Jackpot For Miami

Miami’s offseason magic is already turning heads, and it started with a splash in the transfer portal. Carson Beck and CJ Daniels, former Georgia and LSU standouts, made their Hurricanes debut the way you dream about. Instant highlight reels.

By the second quarter, with the score tied 7-7, Carson Beck found CJ Daniels on a 20-yard strike that seemed impossible. The WR’s diving, one-handed grab in the end zone gave Miami more than the lead. It made the internet lose it. As David Pollack tweeted on August 31, “That is a catch of the year candidate for Daniels!!!! Wow! Here’s what I would have liked to see from ND defender. Go knock the ball down. Don’t go for the pic. Allowed space for Daniels to catch it.” And he’s not the only impressed national voice.

CBS Sports Josh Pate marveled at Carson Beck’s transformation. “Carson Beck going from dropped passes everywhere last year to this is wild,” he wrote posting a screenshot of Daniels mid air single handedly catching the under pressure pass from the QB. ESPN’s Marty Smith posted, “WOW!!! Daniels!!! Bigtime players, bigtime games!” JD PicKell said it was “absolutely filthy,” and College FB Portal screamed “CATCH OF THE YEAR???” And Miami fans are over the top with glee as Mario Cristobal’s portal gamble is paying off faster than anyone could’ve predicted.
