Keontra Smith, Amari Carter among Hurricanes starters who return against North Carolina

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Multiple starters and rotational players returned for the Miami Hurricanes’ Saturday afternoon away game against North Carolina at Kenan Memorial Stadium after being sidelined leading into the team’s bye week.

Starting defensive tackle Jared Harrison-Hunte, backup defensive tackle Jordan Miller, starting cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, starting striker Amari Carter and starting weakside linebacker Keontra Smith were all available against the Tar Heels, with coach Manny Diaz saying all five players practiced this past week.

Stevenson was the lone player out of the aforementioned group of five who played against Virginia on Sept. 30, but he left the game during its latter stages with a hamstring injury.
