Trajan Bandy is the only returning starter in the Miami Hurricanes secondary for 2019. The Hurricanes lost cornerback Michael Jackson and safeties, Sheldrick Redwine and Jaquan Johnson to graduation after 2018. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that D.J. Ivey has the edge over Al Blades Jr. to replace Jackson.
Canes Warning examined in an earlier article how Miami would fill out their secondary in 2019. Blades was an ace special teams performer in 2018. The Miami Hurricanes legacy had 13 tackles and one tackle for loss as a Freshman.
