The heartbeat of a defense is typically the linebacking unit, and Miami has done an excellent job of bringing in quality players in the last couple of recruiting cycles to bolster that unit and set the tone of the defense. Miami’s staff signed Bobby Washington, Malik Bryant, Raul “Popo” Aguirre, and Marcellius Pullium this offseason in addition to transfer additions KJ Cloyd and Francisco Mauigoa.
Miami Linebackers coach Derek Nicholson spoke highly of Washington describing him as “Long, big, athletic, tough, twitchy, can run, I mean very, very, fast and very, very explosive. Bobby has a very, very bright future.
