Miami football is 40 days away from kicking off in Stanford, California. Here on CanesInSight we are getting you ready for the season by naming two defensive Hurricane players who are expecting to take a huge leap this season.
We did this same exercise for the offensive group, naming Hurricanes running back Jordan Lyle and wide receiver Daylyn Upshaw as the two players to watch for.
Take a look down below at two defensive players to watch as the Hurricanes start fall practices shortly.
LB Cam Pruitt
Linebacker Cam Pruitt has been on many national outlets, naming him a breakout player for the Miami Hurricanes this season. He has been one of the most electrifying players on special teams after forcing a big tackle against Texas A&M.
He has the intangibles to be a solid linebacker at Miami with his speed and athleticism. He stands at 6-foot-2, and 210-pounds. During his two seasons, he recorded a total of 21 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble.
Miami retained Mohamed Toure, who is one of the most powerful hitters on the team and a big presence in the middle for the Hurricanes. If you pair him up with Cam Pruitt or Chase Smith, it will make the linebacker group dangerous and a big-time threat in the ACC.
Will this year be the season Cam Pruitt breaks out? Check out his highlights down below:
EDGE Marquise Lightfoot
Edge rusher Marquise Lightfoot is expected to take a huge leap after playing behind two first-round picks, Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor. He had two full years to learn under the dynamic duo, and it is now his time to shine and showcase his pass-rushing ability to the fanbase.
This past season, Lightfoot played limited snaps but carved out a solid role for the Hurricanes. He recorded a total of 25 tackles, one pass breakup, and 2.5 sacks. His best outing was against Stanford, recording four tackles.
Hurricanes fans have already seen him on the field. Now, we will get to see how he handles the starting role. Check out his highlights down below:
