When Miami Hurricanes fans think of the team’s three redshirt freshmen at defensive tackle, their first thought may be Jalar Holley’s sideline dance moves that became a phenomenon last season.
Holley provided energy with his elaborate gyrations during what was UM’s best stretch of an otherwise disappointing 6-7 season when the Hurricanes won three straight against Pittsburgh, Florida State and Louisville.
Now, after he, Jason Blissett and Jared Harrison-Hunte spent their first college season on the sideline, they’re looking to dance around some opposing offensive linemen and catapult themselves into on-field contributions.
At least one of them can emerge behind more experienced defensive tackles in senior Jonathan Ford, junior Nesta Silvera and redshirt sophomore Jordan Miller.
