The Miami Hurricanes have four freshmen wide receivers and two freshmen running backs that could immediately immerse themselves into key roles behind projected starters after all enrolled early for the spring semester.

Running backs Jaylan Knighton and Donald Chaney Jr. will have an opportunity for reps behind junior running back Cam’Ron Harris. Following Michael Harley, Dee Wiggins and Mark Pope at wideout, along with redshirt freshman Jeremiah Payton, the true freshmen in that corps of Keyshawn Smith, Xavier Restrepo, Dazalin Worsham and Michael Redding III will have a chance as receivers coach Rob Likens envisions playing five or six.
