Jaquan Johnson and Sheldrick Redwine look to be the two new starters at safety for Miami.

The Hurricanes will need both of these men to step into a big role following the departures of longtime safety pair Rayshawn Jenkins and Jamal Carter.

Johnson comes off a great year as a utility player in Miami’s defense. Coach Diaz often used Jaquan Johnson as the next man off the bench. Johnson also has astounding versatility and strength, filling in any spot apart from the line.
