Miami got some much needed good news on the offensive side of the ball Thursday when Buffalo wide receiver KJ Osborn announced that he will use his final season of eligibility in Coral Gables.

Osborn, who was a second-team All-MAC section this past season after catching 53 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns for a Bulls’ squad that went 10-4 and made an appearance in the Dollar General Bowl, will start classes at UM next week and participate in spring football.

A couple of month's ago Miami's wide receiver room was considered one of the nation's best, but after a neck injury cut Ahmmon Richards' career short and both Jeff Thomas and Lawrence Cager elected to transfer, the unit is a shell of it once was. That's why Osborn became a priority right away for new Miami head coach Manny Diaz, who realized he needs a veteran to compliment Mike Harley, Dee Wiggins, Mark Pope and others.

Osborn grew up in Ypsilanti, Mich., but played his senior season at IMG Academy down in Florida where he hauled in 21 passes for 379 yards and seven touchdowns back in 2014.

Multiple ACC programs along with schools in the, SEC Pac-12 and Big 12 were all also interested in Osborne.
