The Dolphins have never had a Florida International University player who appeared in a regular season game for them. But they now have one on the roster after signing guard Isame Faciane on Saturday.
Faciane, who worked out for the Dolphins less than two weeks ago, was a defensive tackle at FIU - earning honorable mention All-Conference USA honors - but shifted to guard a year after joining the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
Faciane reportedly chose the Vikings partly because the defensive line coach was Andre Patterson, his former position coach at FIU.
