Defensive tackle Kendrick Norton has been a starter along Miami’s defensive line the past two seasons. Filling a void at a position that the Hurricanes have struggled to fill, the big tackle from Jacksonville, Florida, provided more than just adequate size. Over the next couple of seasons, Norton showcased his ability to keep linemen from reaching the second level to block out linebackers, stood his ground against the run game and get penetration in the face of the quarterback to fuel Miami’s pass rush.
