BREAKING: Miami lands Albany transfer QB Reese Poffenbarger
Miami lands a quarterback commitment from Albany, Reese Poffenbarger.
The Canes snags the Albany quarterback wholed FCS in passing yards (3614) and TDs (36). Had 13 interceptions this past season. So four quarterbacks soon to be “under contact” – this one, Jacurri Brown, Emory Williams, and Judd Anderson.
Pete Thamel says that this decision ends Miami’s quest to bring in a portal quarterback, which included visits from former Kansas State quarterback Will Howard and Washington State’s Cam Ward. Poffenbarger generated a lot of interest from Power 5 schools and chose Miami for the scale of opportunity that it presents.
He is the former Maryland state player of the year and a first-team all-state quarterback out of Middletown High School. He said his recruitment failed to reach the highest levels, in part, because he didn’t grow until late in high school.
Poffenbarger is now 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds. He showcased his athleticism with a video on X (formerly Twitter) that shows a flurry of windmill and tomahawk dunks.
The said the milquetoast interest that he received on recruiting visits prior to his junior year of high school — when he was 5-foot-9 — has fueled his climb, which included a state title his senior year.
