Miami Hurricanes Begin Spring Practice Under Cristobal, Highlighting New Defense and Beck's Recovery

The University of Miami opened its spring football practice under head coach Mario Cristobal, who highlighted cultural and physical advancements in the program. Despite a strong recruiting class and a record-setting offense last season, the Hurricanes have struggled with consistency, achieving only 22 wins in three seasons. Transfer quarterback Carson Beck, recovering from elbow surgery, will observe practice but is expected to play a vital role in developing chemistry with a largely new receiving corps. Cristobal also introduced several new defensive coaches, emphasizing the need for a strong defensive performance after last year's challenges. He expressed optimism about the new defensive personnel and their potential impact on the team's performance. The program aims to build on its recruiting success and improve its competitiveness in the upcoming season.
