Scrimmage news from D$ (CanesInSight Live summary)

In an exclusive reveal, CanesInSight Live provided fans with an inside look at the recent scrimmage, courtesy of D$.

D$ had previously given a detailed, hour-long analysis of every position in the camp in last week’s podcast, and this episode was focused on the Friday’s scrimmage.
The health of the team was emphasized. Unlike the previous year, where injuries plagued the roster, the team has come through the camp relatively unscathed.

Quarterback discussions were extensive, with the deep ball skills of Tyler Van Dyke being especially highlighted. The precision and strength of his throws were commended, as was the continued battle between Jacurri Brown and Emory Williams for the backup quarterback position. D$ described Brown’s scrimmage performance as, “Better than last time, but not as good as you need.”

On Williams’ scrimmage performance, D$ said the following.

“Mr. Consistent with him. Very good command of the offense for a true freshman – he was here in spring, but he’s a true freshman. Very good accuracy, really good red zone passer. He has to work on the timing of his deep ball a little bit, but very accurate.”

The two of them were splitting second-team reps in the scrimmage.

The running back scene looks competitive, with notable mention of Don Chaney, Jr. as a player who had a strong performance on Friday morning.

Colbie Young and Tyler Harrell were two standouts at wide receiver, with Young hauling in a 99-yard touchdown from Van Dyke in situational work. Harrell also had a deep reception on the day.

When the conversation shifted to the defensive line, the versatility and depth of talent were evident. Several players, such as Leonard Taylor and Jafari Harvey, stood out in the scrimmages. Taylor in particular, with dominant play according to D$.

At linebacker, freshman Bobby Washington was a standout for D$ and has a real chance to be an impact player at Miami.

The cornerbacks, particularly the Brown Brothers and Daryl Porter Jr., garnered special attention. The competition and talent depth in these positions promise an exciting season for fans. Porter Jr had an interception on Friday and is making a major push to be a starter. Freshman Damari Brown’s physicality and willingness as a tackler have stood out as well.
