While Miami has been scrutinized for its flaws in 2019 related to missed field goals that often left opponents with advantageous field position, the Canes are just two years removed from one of the most atrocious punting units in the country, which often resulted in poor field position. That is until Australian native and current Cane, Louis Hedley, stole the show on National Signing Day after becoming a Cane in February 2019, subsequently took over the punting duties, and never looked back.
And, even though, the focus all offseason has been on a revamped kicking game led by Jose Borregales, the introduction of the spread offense led by transfer QB D’Eriq King, and overhauling an abysmal offensive line, the unsung hero going into 2020 may be Hedley who exhibited an integral role on opening night against UAB as he consistently flipped the field position by pinning the Blazers deep in their own territory.
