Players announced for 2025 NFL draft from Miami ft. Cam Ward, Xavier Restrepo and more

The Miami Hurricanes had a successful season, finishing third in the ACC and nearly qualifying for the College Football Playoff. They reached double-digit wins for the first time in 2017, due in large part to the addition of quarterback Cam Ward.

However, to replicate that success, the team will need to do it without Cam Ward and several other key players. The Hurricanes have several players set to enter the 2025 NFL draft.
