The Miami Hurricanes’ running backs will enter spring practice as one of the most talented and deep position units among the entire team. Mark Walton has now left Coral Gables, but his mid-season injury in 2017 endowed the Canes’ younger backs with critical experience to build upon moving into 2018.

The Returnees

Homer did an admirable job last season as the primary workhorse in Mark Walton’s absence. In his nine games as a starter he totaled 138 attempts for 759 yards and 5 TD. At 5’11” and 200 lbs. he will continue to bear the brunt as the Canes’ primary runner both in the spring and fall.
