Tight end Willie Smith set the single-season record for the Miami football team with 66 receptions that stood until 2010 and still holds the single-game record with 12 receptions he also set in 1984.
Willie Smith is arguably the best tight end in the history of the Miami football program. Smith left Miami as the all-time leader with 117 receptions and was second with 1,544 receiving yards. Those were also the all-time records for a TE in Miami history that were not broken until Clive Walford had 121 receptions and 1,753 yards.
