Miami Hurricanes freshmen tackles have played well versus first-team defense

True freshman left tackle Zion Nelson and redshirt freshman right tackle John Campbell have played well throughout training camp for the Miami Hurricanes and look comfortable with the first team according to head coach Manny Diaz.

Nelson and Campbell have the task of protecting fellow freshman Jarren Williams who is making his first start at QB. Williams played nine snaps against Savannah State last season.

Campbell got into four games to maintain his redshirt status and Nelson will obviously be taking the first snaps of his collegiate career in a game when the Hurricanes kickoff against the Gators on Saturday.
