In a move that solidifies the future of their receiving corps, the Miami Hurricanes have officially signed star wide receiver Xavier Restrepo to a new contract. The announcement was made earlier today, confirming that the standout playmaker will remain an integral part of the program moving forward.
Restrepo, known for his electrifying speed, precise route-running, and ability to deliver in high-pressure moments, has been a cornerstone of the Hurricanes’ offense since joining the team. The terms of the contract were not disclosed, but sources close to the program suggest it includes a competitive package that underscores his value to the team.
Head coach Mario Cristobal praised the deal, calling it a “monumental step” for the Hurricanes. “Xavier embodies everything we look for in a Miami Hurricane—dedication, talent, and a relentless drive to be the best. This new agreement shows our commitment to building a championship-caliber team around players like him,” Cristobal stated.
Restrepo has been a consistent performer for Miami, amassing impressive stats throughout his tenure. Last season, he racked up over 800 receiving yards and six touchdowns, establishing himself as quarterback Tyler Van Dyke’s go-to target. His leadership on and off the field has also been crucial in mentoring younger players and setting a standard of excellence.
“I’m blessed and grateful to continue my journey with the Hurricanes,” Restrepo said during a press conference. “This team is my family, and Miami is my home. I’m ready to put in the work and bring a championship back to this city.”
With Restrepo’s future secured, Miami is poised to continue its upward trajectory. Fans are eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for the star receiver and the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
