Overview
- Coach Mario Cristobal confirmed on Monday that Cam Vaughn has been dismissed from the Miami Hurricanes during an appearance on WQAM radio and gave no public reason for the decision.
- Vaughn joined Miami this offseason after transferring from West Virginia, where he had 35 catches for 541 yards and four touchdowns in 2025.
- Local reports and university outlets have cited a July reckless-driving arrest in Georgia and suggested broader disciplinary concerns, but Miami has not officially linked any specific incident to the dismissal.
- The departure alters Miami's receiver depth chart with less than three weeks before the Sept. 4 opener, increasing roles for returners and recent portal additions such as Malachi Toney and Cooper Barkate.
- If Vaughn pursues another transfer, multiple outlets say NCAA/transfer rules could force him to sit out until 2027, and the program will monitor any legal processes before commenting further.
