Miami RB’s Surprising Decision to Stay: What This Means for the Team’s Future
Ever seen a player wave goodbye only to sneak back in through the side door? Miami (FL) football fans witnessed just that on a Thursday night full of surprises. Girard Pringle Jr., who’d initially tossed in the towel after their National Championship loss, decided to stick around after all, turning what seemed like a final exit into a welcome homecoming. For head coach Mario Cristobal and the ‘Canes’ 2026 squad, this flip-flop couldn’t be more crucial—especially with their backfield looking a bit thin and spring practices looming. It’s not just about keeping a prized recruit; it’s about resetting the rhythm after a tough loss and reloading with fresh talent like first-rate edge rusher Damon Wilson. With one eye on the future and another on retooling the roster, Miami’s rewriting its playbook in more ways than one. Curious what’s next for the Hurricanes? LEARN MORE.
Miami (FL) football watched a reverse exit unfold on Thursday night. Girard Pringle Jr. originally left the Hurricanes after the National Championship game loss. But turns out the Indiana game won’t be his final contest with Miami.
Pringle opted to return to Coral Gables, with Hayes Fawcett of On3/Rivals confirming the move.
Pringle’s decision becomes welcoming for head coach Mario Cristobal and the 2026 ‘Canes. “The U” appeared to look thin in the backfield outside of Mark Fletcher returning and CharMar Brown being a sophomore eligible to return for a third season. Both RBs are expected to take part in spring practices.
Plus this means Miami keeps one of its prized 2025 recruits from drifting away.
Miami immediately adds to 2026 roster too via portal
The ‘Canes already look like they’re addressing Monday’s defeat at the hands of the Hoosiers.
High-profile edge rusher Damon Wilson is leaving Missouri for Miami, with that College Football Transfer Portal move arriving Thursday. “The U” gains a past five-star here.
Wilson collected 23 tackles featuring 9.5 behind the line of scrimmage. He also delivered nine sacks — making him the perfect early replacement for the NFL Draft bound Rueben Bain Jr. Miami also loses Akheem Mesidor who emerged as the second-best rusher next to Bain.
Wilson could form a dominating tandem with another past five-star talent. It’ll either be Marquise Lightfoot, who flashed potential with 5.5 TFLs and 2.5 sacks, or Hayden Lowe, who lost his 2025 with an ACL tear but flipped from USC during his recruiting period.
Darian Mensah rises as Carson Beck’s potential replacement too — with the Duke quarterback embroiled in a highly-publicized transfer move. Miami is the favorite to land the dual-threat quarterback.
