veteran Miami DB with proven experience and special-teams value
Alfonso Marshall enters the fall competing for a starting cornerback job at Miami while also bringing major special-teams value in punt protection, punt coverage, and kickoff coverage; the Hurricanes note he has the most experience among their returning defensive backs and praise his closing speed as a coverage asset[4]. That combination makes him a useful fit for a team that wants a battle-tested, high-motor defensive back who can help immediately in multiple phases, though his most notable past concern at the professional level was durability[6].
