Miami offensive coordinator Josh Gattis gave an update on the Canes’ offensive line situation on Monday afternoon.
Miami is in the process of trying to turn its O-line from a weakness into a strength. The arrival of coach Mario Cristobal and offensive line coach Alex Mirabal has seemed to help so far.
However, the Canes were dealt a setback last week when it was announced star left tackle Zion Nelson would miss most of all camp — and possibly part of the regular season — after undergoing minor knee surgery in July
.
Still, the Hurricanes have some talent up front. Speaking with reporters on Monday, Gattis said the coaching staff is still trying to identify their top-5 linemen.
One key piece of this equation will be Jalen Rivers, who made 3 starts last season. According to Gattis, Rivers can play all 5 positions on the offensive line and will be a very versatile piece for the Canes this season.
Miami also returns DJ Scaife and Jakai Clark, who made 9 starts each last season. John Campbell missed the 2021 campaign due to an injury but has 6 starts in his career.
