The Canes’ wide receivers group is going to be a mix of talented vets and young potential. One of those young talents is freshman and second-year player Keyshawn Smith. And while he’s been a huge help off the field in the past few months (Trequon Fegans said he built a bond with him), he’s also been turning heads during the spring game and beyond. With the inconsistency of Mark Pope and Dee Wiggins in 2020, a playmaker like Smith seems to have found an avenue to push for snaps and for Miami’s starting slot.
It’s the 6-foot-1, 184-pound speedster’s (clocked 22 mph in practice) time to shine and to use his athleticism, smoothness, and reliable hands to crack into the rotation.
