Running back Lorenzo Lingard was a five-star signee with the Miami football program in 2018. Lingard’s transfer to Florida during the offseason came with a lot of speculation about what the cause was of his move to Gainesville.

Running back Lorenzo Lingard was the first five-star signee with the Miami football program since defensive end Chad Thomas in 2014. Lingard ran for 136 yards on 17 carries as a true freshman in 2018 before a knee injury suffered in practice sidelined him after six games.
