Junior defensive end Jonathan Garvin and senior defensive tackle Pat Bethel return as starters for the Miami Hurricanes on the defensive line in 2019. They will be joined on the first-team by senior end Scott Patchan and junior tackle Jon Ford. Big things are expected from Ford this season by the coaching staff.
Ford has the difficult task of replacing Gerald Willis who was a second-team all-American last season. Willis led Miami with 18 tackles for loss in 2018, added four sacks and was second among defensive linemen with 59 tackles.
