the Miami Hurricanes’ standout tight end, has made the difficult decision to retire from football due to a career-ending injury. The 24-year-old player, who has been a key asset to the Hurricanes, confirmed his resignation in a poignant letter addressed to fans, teammates, and the coaching staff.
McCormick, who transferred to Miami after his tenure at Oregon, had been expected to play a significant role in the Hurricanes’ offensive lineup this season.

In his resignation letter, McCormick expressed deep gratitude for the support he received throughout his career. “It is with a heavy heart that I step away from the game I love,” McCormick wrote. “This injury has brought an abrupt end to my football journey, and while this is not how I envisioned my career concluding, I am thankful for the memories and the incredible experiences I’ve had.”
He further highlighted his appreciation for the Hurricanes’ coaching staff and his teammates, acknowledging their unwavering support and camaraderie. “The bonds we’ve forged and the lessons I’ve learned here are priceless,” McCormick added. “I will always cherish the time spent in this program.”
Despite his early departure from the sport, McCormick remains optimistic about his future. He plans to focus on his recovery and explore new opportunities outside of football. The Miami Hurricanes community, while saddened by the loss of a promising player, stands behind McCormick, celebrating his contributions and wishing him well in his future endeavors.
