Miami head coach Mario Cristobal met with reporters following the first spring practice. A transcript of the session is below:

Question: What stood out from day one of spring practice?

Mario Cristobal: First day is always awesome to be out there. The energy is what you want—day one, a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of juice. The level of physicality, even in spiders, you’ve got to walk the line, but I thought our guys did a good job staying up and competing.

"Mario Cristobal: Chase Smith is a guy we haven’t talked about enough. By the end of the year, he was playing really physical, tough, smart football coming off a major knee injury"

I had the same reaction lol. I think I may have erred when I just assumed that Chase would backup Mo Toure at Mike LB. Chase is likely to start next to Toure.

With Pruitt I just don't know what to think. First you hear he is repping with the Safeties at the end of last year. Now this Spring you hear it from the Head Coach that Pruitt is with the LBs. I just want to see his skill set utilized wherever that may be.
