Zion Nelson signed with the Miami football program as a three-star offensive lineman as part of the Surge 19 recruiting class. Nelson was a breakout star during spring football as Miami sorted out an uncertain offensive line. The only seemingly sure starters this fall are Corey Gaynor, Delone Scaife and Navaugn Donaldson.
Gaynor is locked in to be the starting center and Scaife and Donaldson have unspecified, secure locations as starters on the offensive line. Nelson was the first-team left tackle for a significant portion of spring practice. Scaife seemed to be headed towards a move from right to left tackle.
