Stephen Morris - QB - Hurricanes

One NFC scout told Barry Jackson that Miami senior QB Stephen Morris could be a second-round pick if he keeps improving.

"He will have the strongest arm in the draft next year," the scout said. Another scout added "he can move... He wins games." Morris isn't being mentioned ahead of seniors like Aaron Murray or A.J. McCarron, but there is certainly a possibility that he is selected before them.

Preston Dewey - QB - Hurricanes

Miami fourth string redshirt freshman QB Preston Dewey has decided to stay at the school.

"UM had been prepared to grant him his release and several UM officials expected he would leave after he asked for permission to contact other schools about transferring," according to beat writer Barry Jackson. Dewey was recruited by former coordinator Jedd Fisch.

Pat O'Donnell - P - Hurricanes

Cincinnati P Pat O'Donnell has transferred to Miami.

"He wants to be more around his parents right now," UC coach Tommy Tuberville said. "I understand that. Miami is closer to home for him." O’Donnell was a first-team All-Big East performer in 2011 and earned second-team honors in 2012. O'Donnell will graduate this spring, so he will be eligible to play immediately. In fact, he is already listed as Miami's top punter.

Eddie Johnson - LB - Hurricanes

Miami redshirt freshman LB Eddie Johnson will drop down to the JUCO level.

The school announced in mid-March that Johnson was no longer a part of the football team after being suspended on two separate occasions. Johnson will now attend Hinds Community College. He was one of the top defensive players for the Canes in 2012, so hopefully Johnson changes his path.

Gabe Terry - LB - Hurricanes

Miami sophomore LB Gabe Terry has been dismissed from the team.

Terry was arrested earlier this month on charges of possession of marijuana and resisting arrest without violence. He was immediately suspended by head coach Al Golden. "Gabe was suspended before the incident and we didn’t take him to the spring game. Gabe is no longer with our football team," Golden said. "It’s done."

Mike James - RB - Hurricanes

Bucs traded up to select Miami (FL) RB Mike James with the No. 189 overall pick, sending the No. 196 and 229 picks to the Vikings.

It took the Bucs less than an hour to find their LeGarrette Blount replacement. James (5-10, 223) was a fullback/committee tailback throughout his Hurricanes career, rushing 304 times for 1,340 yards (4.41 YPC) and 17 touchdowns. He notched 67 catches. James ran 4.58 at the Combine with a 1.58 ten-yard split, though he doesn't play as fast and generally only gets what's blocked. He should be more a disciplined and effective runner than Blount.

Brandon McGee - DB - Hurricanes

Rams selected Miami (FL) CB Brandon McGee with the No. 149 overall pick.

McGee (5-11, 193) started 25 games for the 'Canes, notching three career picks and 6.5 tackles for loss. He boosted his draft stock with a 4.4-flat 40-yard dash at the Combine, though he registered a more pedestrian 33.5-inch vertical. McGee is an inconsistent player on film, but has adequate size, obvious straight-line speed and fluid hips. He'll season on special teams before getting a chance in the Rams' crowded secondary.

Ramon Buchanan - LB - Hurricanes

National Football Post's Russ Lande writes Miami LB Ramon Buchanan could surprise in the NFL.

"If Buchanon returns to his pre-injury form he has the talent to start in the NFL," Lande writes. "Five games into the 2011 season, Buchanon tore the ACL in his right knee and then after rehabbing and returning to the field for the start of the 2012 season he re-injured the same knee in Miami’s second game of 2012 and missed the rest of his college career. I doubt that Buchanon will be drafted, but if he can get back to playing at the level he was when he first hurt his knee in 2011 he will become a quality starting linebacker in the NFL."

Brandon McGee - DB - Hurricanes

Miami CB Brandon McGee worked out for the Bears a few weeks ago.

McGee is in that third tier of cornerbacks, but he is drawing plenty of interest throughout the pre-draft process. The Hurricane product fits the Miami football stereotype type in terms of athletic ability and had a good showing at the East-West Shrine game. We think he could be selected in the third-round.

Seantrel Henderson - T - Hurricanes

The NFL Draft Advisory Board advised Miami senior OT Seantrel Henderson that he would not be selected in the top three rounds had he declared for the 2013 NFL draft.

It's not surprising. Henderson was the No. 1 recruit in the nation out of high school, but his on-field performance has been maddeningly inconsistent and he has off-field concerns. "I’ve matured a lot," Henderson insisted. "In the past, I made a couple decisions that might have caused me to be in the doghouse from [Al] Golden. Now, I’ve been top of everything, watching film more, doing everything right academically. I’ve been better on the field and off."

Brandon McGee - DB - Hurricanes

The Chicago Bears privately worked out Miami (FL) CB Brandon McGee.

McGee could be a fit in the slot after nickel corner D.J. Moore signed with the Carolina Panthers. "Absolutely, (I can see myself being an NFL nickelback)," McGee said. "Going into the NFL you have to be open to that because it only adds to your value. Playing nickelback demands a lot more thinking. The successful nickelbacks are the smart ones. It's not easy playing inside. For example, Charles Woodson was one of the greatest when the Green Bay Packers used to line him up inside over the slot. That's the kind of guy I would try to model my game after."

Brandon McGee - DB - Hurricanes

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was seen attending Miami's Pro Day workouts.

If we are remembering correctly, Belichick always attends Florida pro days, but he will likely be focusing on cornerback Brandon McGee. The Hurricane product has the athletic tools but has failed to consistently put them together throughout his career.

Eddie Johnson - LB - Hurricanes

Miami has indefinitely suspended redshirt freshman LB Eddie Johnson.

Johnson's return next season reportedly is "50-50 at this point." Beat writer Jorge Milian tweeted "Johnson is an outstanding talent whose biggest opponent appears to be himself." Head coach Al Golden previously said Johnson needed to "grow up" after he was suspended twice in a three week period.

Mike James - RB - Hurricanes

One anonymous NFL scout calls Miami's Mike James "a big, heavy" RB, not a FB.

"He played fullback as a courtesy to the kid," the scout says. James is "not big or strong enough. He started at tailback but moved to fullback to keep on the field. He’s too small for a fullback." The Hurricane's yards per carry average, along with his skills, were fairly pedestrian, but he could be drafted in April.

Brandon McGee - DB - Hurricanes

"Several teams" reportedly have Miami CB Brandon McGee graded in the third- to fourth-round area for the 2013 NFL Draft.

Per NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah, McGee has impressed "all week long" at the East-West Shrine with quick feet and fluid hips. He's also "made several plays on the ball" and has been "the top cornerback" in St. Pete "by a good margin." McGee, listed at 6-foot, 197, intercepted three passes as a 24-game starter over the course of his junior and senior seasons. He had four tackles for loss in 2012.
