The Miami Hurricanes have significantly bolstered their defensive back roster by adding six new players from the transfer portal, addressing last season's shortcomings. They remain in pursuit of several top safeties, including AJ Haulcy and Jakobe Thomas. Notably, they are optimistic about acquiring former Auburn cornerback Keionte Scott, who has a history with the UM defensive backs coach and strong performance background, though past coverage issues have raised some concerns. This strategic reinforcement aims to enhance the team's defensive capabilities for the upcoming season.
There's history with Scott and new UM defensive backs coach Zac Etheridge; they were together at Auburn.
Scott has had a good career, but last year wasn't great: playing primarily outside cornerback, he allowed 16 of 22 passes in his coverage area to be caught for 317 yards.
