Full-Circle Moment for Favian Upshaw

Favian Upshaw, Miami’s new running backs coach, is embracing a full-circle moment—he once played QB for head coach Mario Cristobal at FIU and is now back in Miami to elevate the program’s rushing game. With NFL experience coaching J.K. Dobbins and Javonte Williams, he brings a quarterback’s mindset to teach backs how to read defenses and handle blitzes, calling his NFL tenure a “PhD in football.” Already connecting with Miami’s talented backs like Mark Fletcher Jr. and Marty Brown, Upshaw aims to build a championship-caliber unit, ready to challenge Stanford in the opener and push Miami back into the College Football Playoff.
