08/05/22 - OT Zion Nelson, rSr/2025, Miami

The biggest news of the day at the Miami Hurricanes' media day belonged to the biggest body - or at least close to it - in attendance. Miami Hurricanes left tackle Zion Nelson, a 6-5, 320-pound NFL prospect and projected first-rounder by several outlets, said he underwent surgery to remove "floating cartilage" in his left knee about three weeks ago and was given a six-to-eight-week timetable for making his return. Though he wouldn't give specifics, Nelson will likely miss the Sept. 3 opener against Bethune-Cookman. Nelson told the Miami Herald he would probably be in the weight room rehabbing and working out during Miami's opening fall camp practice Friday morning.

Nelson's backup, for now at least, is John Campbell, also 6-5 and 320 pounds. Campbell, a fifth-year redshirt junior, sat out the entire 2021 season with a torn ACL in his left knee that he said he sustained while falling during drills "just before fall camp." "These big guys need a tuneup every now and then,'' said UM coach Mario Cristobal, who noted that Campbell "is already in the groove. We expect John to be one of the best players in the conference, actually in the country. We think that highlly of him. He has a lot of the same traits that Zion has." "The position that those guys play, it comes with a lot. They both battled through some stuff." - Miami Herald
