1. MIAMI

Miami’s strong 2025 transfer class features a trio of four-star defensive backs – the only program in the nation that can make that claim. Former Michigan State defensive back Charles Brantley was a three-year starter for the Spartans and racked up 103 total tackles (61 solo), 18 pass break-ups, five interceptions and two defensive touchdowns.

At Jacksonville State last season, Zechariah Poyser was responsible for five turnovers (three interceptions and two fumble recoveries). He’s expected to play an important role in the secondary this season.

The third four-star defensive back in this Miami transfer class is Ethan O’Connor, who just finished his redshirt freshman season at Washington State where he hauled in an impressive four interceptions.

Former Arizona defensive back Emmanuel Karnley, who also had a promising redshirt freshman campaign this past season, has a chance to blossom over the next few years at Miami.
