SAFETY:
NEED: 2-3 | MEDIUM PRIORITY
updated: 4/14/25
OVERVIEW: ​
Miami returns four safeties (Zaquan Patterson, Markeith Williams, Jadais Richard, Isaiah Taylor) in 2025 with two true freshmen (Bryce Fitzgerald, Amari Wallace) and one transfer (Zechariah Poyser) joining them. Only one will exhaust his eligibility after 2025. The staff prefers to carry 6-8 safeties on the roster. Look for Miami to continue to stack talent at this position of need.
