Overview
- Coach Mario Cristobal announced Monday on WQAM that Cam Vaughn has been dismissed from the team and offered no explanation 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, and he previously had 48 catches for 803 yards at Jacksonville State in 2024.
- Miami's receiver room now leans on returner Malachi Toney, transfers Cooper Barkate and Vandrevius Jacobs, and developing players such as Daylyn Upshaw, Josh Moore and freshmen Somourian Wingo and Milan Parris to fill the gap.
- Reports note that if Vaughn seeks another transfer he may face timing or eligibility limits that could delay his return to play until 2027.
- Coverage cites past discipline questions from Vaughn's time at West Virginia as context, Miami has not provided further comment, and the program's next steps to clarify the dismissal and finalize fall depth charts will be watched closely.
