University of Miami coach Mark Richt addressed the media on Thursday for the first time since Sunday, cutting practice short, he said, because there just aren’t enough tight ends to go around after junior Michael Irvin injured his knee and underwent surgery on Wednesday.
UM tight ends coach Todd Hartley said Wednesday that the Hurricanes have not moved any players over to tight end to make up for Irvin’s absence. Judging by past years, however, that could still happen.
Right now there are only three scholarship tight ends without Irvin: sophomore Brian Polendey and freshmen Jordan Brevin and Will Mallory.
