What happened: Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Zach Sieler and Jordyn Brooks complete the player-voted group. Malik Willis, De'Von Achane and Paul are first-time selections; Brewer and Brooks return from the 2025 group.
Why it matters: Willis assumes a leadership role in his first Miami season, while Achane's selection follows his offseason extension. Jeff Hafley plans to consult the captains on practice intensity, routines and travel while retaining final authority.
By the numbers: The six-player group has four offensive and two defensive captains, including two offensive linemen.
What to watch: The captains move into their new roles as Miami prepares for its regular-season opener.
