Cleveland Reed Jr. brings veteran size and portal uncertainty to Miami’s O-line mix
In the 2022 season, Cleveland Reed Jr. was listed by Miami at 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, and he had already logged game action in multiple seasons before entering the transfer portal in May 2023; that combination of experience, power and interior-line size is the sell. He’s the kind of mauler who can help on short-yardage and depth-heavy rotations, but his biggest differentiator is veteran snaps rather than hype—he was a former consensus four-star recruit, yet his Miami stint ended with roster uncertainty, so fit depends on whether a team wants proven bulk with a bit of “prove-it” baggage.[1][2][7]
