In some of the more significant Canes’ offseason news in recent weeks affecting the 2020 season, Navaughn Donaldson announced he would utilize his redshirt option for his senior season. This isn’t a huge surprise as Donaldson suffered a lower leg injury against Duke in the 2019 regular season finale, which forced him to miss the Walk-on Independence Bowl against Louisiana Tech. The injury lingered into the spring, as Donaldson then missed Miami’s only four spring practices. Apparently the injury was more serious than a standard ankle injury, as Miami Head Coach Manny Diaz told The Athletic that Donaldson would be the only player not ready for the start of fall camp as he was coming off major knee surgery in December.
