The Miami Hurricanes' trio of early-enrollee linebackers made their presence felt on the defense this spring. They earned starting reps during camp, and when called upon, have only impressed. Normally, playing freshmen can be attributed to depth issues or injuries, and there's a bit of both in play for the Hurricanes. But these young linebackers are playing with confidence, and when you impress your coaches, regardless of class, you're going to play.
That's just what these players have done -- they exceeded expectations during spring practices and did so consistently, topping it off with a strong showing in Miami's Spring Game.
