Even though the Linebacker and Cornerback situation have seemed like more precarious units on the Miami Hurricanes’ defense this offseason, the area that has experienced the most notable turnover is the Defensive End position. And even though Miami’s roster as a whole returns nearly everyone from 2020, they lose serious contributors in the pass rush area.
Most notably, Miami had three key defensive ends drafted this past April. The turnover and steady presence of top tier pass rushers has been even more pronounced since HC, Manny Diaz, joined the Canes’ staff.
When Diaz was Defensive Coordinator from 2016-2018, Miami saw tenacious pass rushers Joe Jackson, Chad Thomas, and Trent Harris come through the U - all of whom have had varying degrees of experience in the NFL.
