Former Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Mike Harley Jr. will tryout with Dolphins

August 7, 2024

The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Willie Snead IV last week but are still searching for depth at the position. Aaron Wilson, NFL reporter for KPRC 2 Houston, was the first to share that former Miami Hurricanes and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Mike Harley Jr. is working out with the Dolphins on Wednesday.

Harley was named All-ACC Third Team in 2020 and finished his college career as Miami’s all-time receptions leader. His five-year total of 182 receptions topped Reggie Wayne’s previous record of 173.

Harley went undrafted in the 2022 NFL draft, spent last season on the Browns practice squad, and had a brief stint with the DC Defenders in March.

Odell Beckham Jr. hasn’t practiced since signing with the Dolphins. Fellow wide receivers Jaylen Waddle, Erik Ezukanma, and Braxton Berrios were all sidelined for Tuesday’s joint practice with the Atlanta Falcons — which could explain the search for additional depth.
