Miami Hurricanes lose third player for Stanford opener

Miami Hurricanes safety Dylan Day has been ruled out for Friday's season opener against Stanford, becoming the third Miami player unavailable for the game. The announcement came in the ACC's latest availability report released Wednesday night. Day joins sophomore cornerback Ja'Boree Antoine and sophomore tight end Luka Gilbert on the sidelines for the No. 7 Hurricanes. Day recorded 11 tackles, one sack, and two pass breakups in 2025 while playing 120 defensive snaps, and his absence opens the door for true freshman JJ Dunnigan to take a significant role. The ACC requires teams to submit availability reports daily starting three nights before conference games, with final reports due two hours before kickoff. Designations include available, probable, questionable, and out, with game-day reports using available, game time decision, and out.
