Diaz has elevated the Miami Hurricanes defense to become one of the best in the country for the second straight season. The Hurricanes were third in the country in tackles for loss and first in sacks this past season.
Diaz is tasked with rebuilding the defensive line and the depth at cornerback this season. Getting the defense to continue to play with intensity and giving maximum effort on every play and in every game is something the Diaz instills in his defense. The foundation for that begins every spring.
Thursday’s lack of effort was reportedly only occurred on a few drills.
