Which Miami Hurricanes have to a chance to step up in 2018?
The Miami Hurricanes lose nine significant Seniors from their 2017 ACC Coastal Division Champions. Which players will replace them and several other Miami Hurricanes heading into 2018?
Players such as sack leader Trent Harris and receiving leader Braxton Berrios will move onto the next level. This season saw several Miami Hurricanes players step up with graduations and injuries to key players from 2016.
Braxton Berrios picked up the slack from the graduated Stacy Coley and the frequent injuries to Ahmmon Richards at wide receiver. Christopher Herndon did a great job replacing David Njoku who left for the NFL.
Travis Homer replaced Mark Walton who was lost with a season-ending ankle injury in early October. He finished 29 yards short of rushing for 1,000 yards.
Quarterback Malik Rosier was often maligned this year but gave them a different dimension at than Brad Kaaya did the past three seasons. Rosier ran for 468 yards and threw 26 touchdowns with just 14 interceptions.
Miami loses two starters on the offensive line, three key players on the defensive line, cornerback Dee Delaney, tight end Chris Herndon and kicker Michael Badgley. Several returnees and maybe a few reserves will have the chance to step up and replace them next season.
