Miami Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz called the competition at safety and striker the two toughest of fall camp on Monday as UM still has several position battles that will continue into a regular season that starts on Thursday night against UAB.
At striker, the safety-linebacker hybrid position in Miami’s defense, the Hurricanes have redshirt sophomore Gilbert Frierson and sophomore Keontra Smith as co-starters.
At safety, like safeties coach Ephraim Banda has previously stated, UM will rotate Gurvan Hall, Amari Carter and Bubba Bolden in the two spots.
“All three of those guys are line-one guys,” Diaz said.
