The Miami Hurricanes Football Team's spring concluded with their Spring Game, held this year at DRV PNK Stadium, on April 16, 2022. Here are some of the best photos from the game, taken by The Miami Hurricane Photo Staff.

With an entirely new coaching staff and a revamped roster, coach Mario Cristobal’s Hurricanes presented a new approach to the game that incorporated a much more balanced approach to both sides of the ball.

An intense and spirited month of spring football culminated Saturday afternoon with Miami's annual spring football game, taking place at Drive Pink Stadium.

“We always say how you do anything is how you do everything. Football’s in phases. This is the spring football phase and we’re closing it. How we close this determines how we close the offseason phase. So, this is a full-throttle approach for us,” Cristobal said.

Miami concluded its final practice before its annual spring game on Saturday, followed by a media availability with head coach Mario Cristobal, offensive coordinator Josh Gattis, as well as freshmen Jacurri Brown, Cyrus Moss and Jaleel Skinner. Transfers Frank Ladson Jr. and Logan Sagapolu also spoke to the media after practice. Here are some takeaways and highlights from day 14 of UM's spring practices.

With the annual spring football game approaching on Saturday, Miami has lost second-year running back Cody Brown to the transfer portal.

Third-year linebacker Tirek Austin-Cave has entered the transfer portal. This was first reported by the Orange Bowl Boys and Caneville.

“I’ve always been a fan of Coach Cristobal and Coach Mirabal,” Tinilau said in an interview with InsideTheU. “It would be fun playing for a head coach who’s a former offensive lineman.”

Jonathan Denis, a third-year freshman who did not appear in a game with the Ducks, announced his intentions to transfer to Miami in a Twitter post Saturday night. He follows offensive lineman Logan Sagapolu, who transferred from Oregon to UM in late January.

The Hurricanes were back on the Greentree Practice Fields for their 11th practice of the spring on Thursday, followed by a media availability with head coach Mario Cristobal, linebacker Corey Flagg Jr., defensive lineman Jordan Miller, wide receiver Key'Shawn Smith and offensive lineman Jalen Rivers.

UM kicked off its fourth week of spring practice at the Greentree Practice Fields on Tuesday, followed by a media availability with cornerback Te'Cory Couch, linebacker Keontra Smith and wide receivers Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George.

"The more you could do, the more valuable you are, so if I can be one guy on a roster that can [play] back-up quarterback, receiver, special teams, whatever I can do," King said after his Pro Day performance. "It's all about getting the best opportunity to make the roster."
