Freshman running back Jaylan Knighton and sophomore striker Keontra Smith add depth to the Miami football team in 2020.

Depth will be critical throughout college football in 2020 and freshman running back Jaylan Knighton and sophomore striker Keontra Smith will be key reserves for the Miami football team this season. Knighton is expected to open the season as the second-team RB and Smith will backup Gilbert Frierson at Striker.

Knighton has been one of the most productive Miami players during the Hurricanes three scrimmages getting ready for the 2020 season.
