While spread offenses and skill players get plenty of attention, the men who play in trenches still hold an integral role in determining the outcome of a game. The University of Miami Hurricanes are in the midst of a reload at defensive end/edge-rusher.

Fortunately, UM brings back a duo that is well equipped to harass quarterbacks and disrupt plays behind the line of scrimmage.
The return of Demetrius Jackson to the field cannot go understated.
