Miami Hurricanes edge rusher Quincy Roche declares for NFL draft

Miami Hurricanes redshirt senior defensive end Quincy Roche announced he is declaring for the 2021 NFL draft on Sunday night.

While a fifth-year senior, all college football players are being granted an extra season of eligibility because the 2020 season is being played during the COVID-19 pandemic, so Roche had the option to return if he wanted.

“From being a 2-star recruit, I have always had a chip on my shoulder that has carried me through my career,” Roche wrote in a graphic he tweeted, titled Thank You Miami. “The odds have always been against me but I never stopped believing in my dreams to play professional football.
