The Miami Hurricanes start a critical spring for the program on Monday, coming off an 8-3 season that began with promise but finished with disappointing losses to North Carolina in the regular-season finale and Oklahoma State in the Cheez-It Bowl.
While quarterback D’Eriq King is out for the 15-practice slate as he rehabs his knee following surgery for a torn ACL in that bowl loss and defensive tackle Nesta Silvera and tight end Will Mallory sit out due to shoulder procedures, many other players will look to develop their games ahead of the 2021 season.
There should also be a number of position battles, although they won’t nearly be settled in the spring.
