Miranda signed with the Stuttgart Surge, a European League of Football (ELF) franchise in Germany near France, Austria and Switzerland.

The ELF started in 2020. The Stuttgart Surge play home games at Waldau-Stadion, the oldest sports stadium in Germany, which holds just over 11,000 spectators.

Miranda leaves the UA football program after five seasons in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. The Berlin native signed with the Wildcats in 2020 and played for three head coaches during his time at UA: Kevin Sumlin, Jedd Fisch and Brent Brennan.

The 6-3, 244-pound Miranda, who was primarily used as a blocker, had one reception during his entire ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ career. Miranda played 264 offensive snaps in the last three years as a Wildcat.

Miranda is the latest tight end to leave the UA football program, along with transfers Keyan Burnett (Kansas) and Dorian Thomas (New Mexico).

The Wildcats return former San Jose State transfer and senior Sam Olson, who had 13 catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns last season, along with redshirt junior and Phoenix native Tyler Powell, redshirt junior John Hart and redshirt freshman Dylan Tapley.

In the transfer portal, ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ added receiver-converted-tight end Cameron Barmore, a sixth-year senior from Mercyhurst, an FCS school in Pennsylvania. Barmore caught 73 passes for 978 yards and 13 touchdowns for the Lakers last season. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ signed three-star Northern California tight end Kellan Ford for its 2025 recruiting class.
