Fall camp is finally over and the Hurricanes’ season opener against Bethune-Cookman is around the corner.
With five days to go before the 12:30 p.m. kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium, the University of Miami released its first depth chart of 2017.
Fans have already learned some of the surprise starters, such as junior cornerback Michael Jackson and redshirt junior Mike Smith at weak-side linebacker, though Smith’s start had a lot to do with usual starter Michael Pinckney’s suspension for the first half of the game because of his targeting in the Russell Athletic Bowl (as well as his missing much of fall camp because of a hurt hamstring).
