After struggles in the punt return game last season with muffed punts, fumbles on returns and other mishaps, the Miami Hurricanes are exploring a multitude of options on that front in spring drills.
Transfers in cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (Georgia) and wide receiver Charleston Rambo (Oklahoma), slot receiver Xavier Restrepo and fifth-year receiver Michael Harley have all fielded punts in practice, according to special teams coordinator Jonathan Patke on Tuesday.
“We’re trying to get every guy as many opportunities to catch a live punt in practice and catch it out of the Juggs pre-practice, post-practice, whenever we get to catch balls,” Patke said.
