Manny Diaz and the coaching staff for the Miami football program will be limited this spring for creating a depth chart heading into the offseason with injuries decimating several position groups for the Hurricanes. In some cases, Miami will have only half of a unit available during spring football.
Linebacker is the most glaring position group that will have to overcome injuries this spring. Four Hurricanes middle backers will be out this spring according to Diaz. Incoming freshman Tyrek Austin-Cave and rising sophomore Sam Brooks are out with shoulder injuries and freshman Corey Flagg is out with a knee injury.
