Almost two years after knee injury, Miami Hurricanes OL Navaughn Donaldson ready to open holes again

CORAL GABLES — After a difficult 2020, the Miami Hurricanes will be getting a fully healthy version of one of their most experienced offensive linemen for the the upcoming season.

Navaughn Donaldson, a fifth-year senior who started in 34 of the Hurricanes’ 38 games from 2017-19, is returning after missing most of last season due to a knee injury he sustained toward the end of the 2019 season.

After sustaining tears in the ACL and MCL in his right knee, Donaldson had to have surgery and rehab for most of 2020, with the 6-foot-6 offensive lineman saying it was difficult for him to walk and put pressure down on his right leg for six months.
