The number 97 is not as illustrious in the history of the Miami football program as much as some other numbers. The list came down to two Hurricanes defensive ends to wear 97.
The two best Miami football players to wear number 97 are defensive ends, Anthony Hamlet, from 1987-91 and Jonathan Garvin from 2017-17. Hamlet was a member of national championship teams with Miami in 1989 and 91. Hamlet was part of a Miami defense in 1991 that finished first in the country in points allowed.
