Over the past two years, Mark Walton has taken over as Miami’s feature back.
After rushing over 1000 yards on 209 carries last season, Walton found comfort behind veteran quarterback Brad Kaaya, and an offensive line unit that was the same his first two years.
But with the departure of Kaaya and the addition of new lineman such as Navaughn Donaldson, George Brown Jr., and Kai-Leon Herbert, the ‘Canes offense will undergo a lot of lineup changes in 2017.
While the changes will be beneficial for Miami on the line, the ‘Canes will have lean on Walton more than ever with a first-year starter at quarterback.
