Just after spring practice had hit the midway point, Miami’s depth in its linebacking corps has taken a hit as well.
The U announced over the weekend that Waynmon Steed sustained an unspecified injury to his left knee at some point recently. As a result of the injury, the redshirt sophomore linebacker will be forced to undergo surgery to repair the unspecified damage.
The school stated in its release that "[a] timetable for his return will be determined after surgery.”
Steed was a three-star member of the Hurricanes’ 2017 recruiting class. After redshirting as a true freshman, the Miami native played in five games this past season.
Heading into the spring this year, Steed was viewed as one of The U’s top backup linebackers.
