The Miami Hurricanes are losing a young wide receiver right after their national championship loss. According to Pete Nakos of On3, Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Joshisa “Jojo” Trader plans to enter the transfer portal. The sophomore has at least two more years of eligibility.

Trader was a four-star prospect out of Chaminade-Madonna High School when he was recruited by the Miami Hurricanes. The four-star from the class of 2024 was ranked the 14th wide receiver and 70th overall prospect in the nation, according to 247Sports. He committed to the Hurricanes on July 13, 2023.

Trader played sparingly his freshman season, racking up six catches for 91 yards and a touchdown, which was a 40-yard sprint in the 2024 Pop-Tarts Bowl against Iowa State. 

2025 saw improved numbers from Trader, but he still didn’t get his desired snaps. He had just 13 catches for 178 yards and another touchdown. His only touchdown was a 36-yarder in Miami’s 26-20 overtime loss to the SMU Mustangs. He had just two total receptions for 10 yards in the College Football Playoff.

Safe to say, Trader has promise as a deep threat, and he could be looking to transfer to another school in Florida, such as Florida State or Florida. He could even look at the Texas A&M Aggies, who could lose starting wide receivers Mario Craver and KC Concepcion to the draft.

Regardless, while he isn’t ranked by 247Sports yet, Trader should be a pretty high priority on the transfer portal. He has two more years of eligibility, and he could be a home-run threat for any team that can catch him off the portal.

The Hurricanes have lost a few players from the portal. Running back Girard Pringle Jr. is probably the most high-profile of all of them, since he was a 2025 four-star who ran for 375 yards and four touchdowns. However, the Hurricanes themselves reeled in a major acquisition, earning a commitment from Missouri EDGE Damon Wilson II.
