CharMar Brown, who ran for more than 1,100 yards in 2024 for FCS national champion North Dakota State, is transferring to Miami.
The 247Sports transfer portal list was updated with the move Wednesday afternoon.
Brown ran for 1,181 yards and 15 touchdowns. He carried the ball 244 times in 16 games, including the playoffs.
The 5-foot-11 Brown, a Nebraska native, won the Jerry Rice Award, given each year to the top FCS freshman. He had four 100-yard games.
At the running back position, Miami returns Mark Fletcher and Jordan Lyle. Fletcher ran for 607 yards and nine TDs last season, with Lyle contributing 400 yards and four touchdowns. Leading rusher Damien Martinez, who had 1,002 yards and 10 scores, was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round of the draft last weekend.
The Hurricanes finished the 2024 season with a 10-3 (6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) record. They open the new season Aug. 31 at home against Notre Dame, who lost to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff championship game.
