The Miami Hurricanes defensive line was slighted by 247Sports when the website named the “10 nastiest defensive lines in college football for 2019.” Even with the loss of five defensive linemen that were selected in the 2019 NFL Draft Clemson is ranked the fourth nastiest defensive line in college football for 2019.
The Miami Hurricanes have to replace defensive tackle Gerald Willis and end Joe Jackson from the 2018 roster. Willis is much harder to replace than Jackson. The only defensive tackle with significant experience on the Miami Hurricanes roster is rising senior Pat Bethel.
