One of the more unsung heroes for the Miami defense this season, redshirt sophomore Gilbert Frierson is quietly putting together an elite year at the striker position. Frierson is 4th on the Canes in tackles, and he’s 2nd in TFLs. He also has totaled 2 pass deflections and a fumble recovery.
Someone who isn’t getting enough credit is Gilbert Frierson. I said in the off season I like Frierson as my breakout player on defense, and he isn’t disappointing. Very solid in coverage, physical as a tackler.
