It’s no secret Miami is prioritizing the defensive backfield in this Transfer Portal cycle. On Tuesday, the Canes landed the commitment of 4-star safety transfer Zechariah Poyser (Jacksonville State).
At 6’-2”/190, Zechariah is rated 90 and ranked the #2 safety in the transfer portal this cycle. He chose Miami over Georgia, LSU, Florida, and Auburn. Zechariah visited Coral Gables this past weekend and committed shortly after visits to all the above schools.
In 2024, Zechariah had a banner season with 75 tackles, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 808 defensive snaps. Zechariah was targeted 68 times, allowing only 32 receptions for 310 yards and three touchdowns. He earned an 80.1 defensive grade, a 76.1 run defense grade, and an 80.1 coverage grade by PFF.
Zechariah has two years of eligibility remaining.
Welcome to the U, Zechariah! Welcome to the family!
GO CANES!
