Rise up RedHawks! Miami has become the MACās most consistent program ā 3 straight conference title game appearances, strong culture under Chuck Martin (13th year), and a rich āCradle of Coachesā history.
Now with an experienced roster heading into 2026. Can they win the MAC title?
2026 at a glance:
š Veteran O-line (one of only 3 in FBS that added experience) led by All-MAC Eric Smith
š QB Thomas Gotkowski back + portal QBs (McComb, Heavner)
š Portal additions add athleticism across skill positions & defense (Yacamelli, Nelson, Knighten, etc.)
š Mostly homegrown talent with smart transfers
š Tough schedule; Pitt, Cincinnati, UConn OOC, key MAC road games at Western Michigan & Central Michigan. But these games offer opportunity. Home Battle of the Bricks on a Tuesday night.
