From his days playing for the Central Rockets, Joseph Yearby was one of the most sought after running backs at the high school level. Yearby choose to attend the University of Miami over Alabama, Florida State and West Virginia. Starting his collegiate career as an early enrollee, Yearby looked to run early and as often as the Hurricanes would give him the ball.
As a freshman, Yearby hit the ground and the running lanes hard.
