There weren’t many bright spots on Miami’s roster in 2022 but as far as an individual MVP, Safety Kamren Kinchens is a no-brainer as the Overall and Defensive MVP for the Canes this past season. The true sophomore not only led the team in tackles (59) and interceptions (6) - and one 99-yard pick six - but was named First Team AP All-American. He also was deemed First Team All-American by a number of other publications, narrowly missed earning Consensus All-American Honors, and also earned First Team All-ACC.
The Miami Northwestern graduate was born in South Florida at a time when the Hurricanes had already been well-established as #SafetyU.
