Former Miami Hurricanes football defensive back Malik Curtis is on his way to the SWAC.
Curtis has transferred to Mississippi Valley State University.
A consensus three-star prospect by 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals, Malik Curtis was ranked as the No. 74 athlete nationally and the No. 100 player in Florida by 247Sport. He was rated the No. 84 cornerback in the country by ESPN. He caught 47 passes for 726 yards and eight touchdowns, adding an interception returned for a touchdown. As a junior, caught 34 passes for 680 yards and eight touchdowns, adding four punt returns and a kickoff return for touchdowns.
He also once played for Deion Sanders, making the cut for one of his seven-on-seven programs. Curtis picked Miami over Boston College, Georgia Southern and Western Kentucky.
Curtis saw action in eight games for Miami Hurricanes football in his true freshman season – primarily on special teams – and finished with a pair of tackles. He saw action in 11 games as a sophomore in 2022, making a pair of stops again.
The 2023 season was a wash for Curtis – he didn’t record any statistics for the Miami Hurricanes.
