—

by

Mark Fletcher Jr. can help Miami’s defense before he carries the ball in a game. His physical running style gives a rebuilt defensive front a daily test of pad level, gap control and tackling.

Miami should move Bryce Fitzgerald before quarterbacks stop testing him

—

by

Miami should make Bryce Fitzgerald harder to avoid in 2026. Six interceptions as a freshman gave every opponent a reason to locate him before the snap and send the ball elsewhere. Corey Hetherman’s answer cannot be waiting for quarterbacks to challenge the same alignment. Fitzgerald has to move until the coverage makes them find him…

Jack Olsen can become Miami’s safety net on a schedule that keeps sending the Hurricanes away from home. An accurate veteran kicker will not solve every offensive problem, but he can keep an uneven road possession from becoming an empty one. Six true road games make that value impossible to treat as a footnote. Olsen…

It places the Hurricanes’ biggest games on a scouting calendar, where every pressure answer, late throw and road decision can either build a top-pick case or reduce the projection to summer noise.
