Navaughn Donaldson has always been a quick learner, so center is no issue at Miami

Navaughn Donaldson knew one thing mattered above all when he was forced to start playing center ahead of the Miami Hurricanes’ first spring scrimmage April 6. If he couldn’t snap the ball to his quarterback effectively, Miami wouldn’t be able to do anything, so Donaldson, who started the 2018 season as the Hurricanes’ right tackle, made it a priority.

Still, it doesn’t mean it has been easy.

“I mean, it’s getting there,” said the tackle-turned-guard-turned-center, flashing a big smile.

So much has come so naturally to Donaldson since he dove full bore into his sport of choice as a freshman at Miami Central High.
