Colbie Young poised to be key playmaker in Hurricanes’ new offense

CORAL GABLES — Last season, the Hurricanes searched for a playmaking wide receiver to replace the production they lost when Mike Harley Jr. and Charleston Rambo left for the NFL. For two games, it looked like Colbie Young was going to be that playmaker.

Young had two excellent games against Virginia Tech and Duke, but after quarterback Tyler Van Dyke suffered a shoulder injury that kept him out for most of the rest of the 2022 campaign, Miami’s offense faltered and Young’s production slowed.

Entering his second season with the Hurricanes, Young may take a step forward and become a major difference in Miami’s passing game.
