Not surprisingly, the upheaval at The U continues.
Not long after losing its head coach to retirement and its leading rusher to the NFL, Miami has now lost a wide receiver to transfer, with WatchStadium‘s Brett McMurphy reporting that Lawrence Cager has decided to leave the Hurricanes. As the receiver is departing as a graduate transfer, he will be eligible to play immediately in 2019 at another FBS program.
This coming season will be Cager’s final year of eligibility.
The 6-5, 215-pound Cager started 12 of 13 games this season and led the Hurricanes in receiving touchdowns with six. He also posted career highs in receptions (21) and receiving yards (374).
As a true freshman in 2015, Cager caught eight passes for 70 yards and a touchdown. After missing the entire 2016 season because of a torn ACL, he rebounded to total 237 yards and three touchdowns on his 16 catches in 2017.
