Former Hurricanes great Russell Maryland to be inducted into Orange Bowl Hall of Fame

Former Miami Hurricanes defensive tackle Russell Maryland will be inducted into the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame on Friday.

Maryland helped lead the Hurricanes to two national championships from 1988-90. After finishing his UM career with 279 tackles, 20.5 sacks and earning All-American honors as a senior, he was the first overall pick by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1991 NFL draft. He is one of just two Hurricanes taken at the No. 1 spot, joining Vinny Testaverde in 1987.

Maryland, who played 10 NFL season, participated in the 1988 and 1989 Orange Bowls.
