Coming into the 2018 season, the Canes were considered to be one of the most lethal teams in the country due to their talent at the skill positions. One of the most loaded positions was running back, where Miami was returning near 1000-yard rusher Travis Homer, emerging sophomore Deejay Dallas, and senior bruiser Trayone Gray, while also adding incoming 5-star freshman Lorenzo Lingard. Lingard was not the only running back in last year’s recruiting class, as the coaching staff also brought in local product Cam’Ron Davis, a 4-star back out of Carol City HS.
Davis was buried on the depth chart and appeared to be destined for a redshirt, seeing limited action against Savannah State, FIU and FSU.
