Few players can say that they’ve started since their first day on campus but Miami Hurricanes junior LB Zach McCloud is one who can.
A 4-star recruit from Lantana (FL) Santaluces HS in 2016, McCloud, along with fellow recruits Shaquille Quarterman and Michael Pinckney, stepped right into the starting lineup as a freshman. McCloud was immediately productive for Miami, totaling 37 tackles and 3.5 TFL in 2016, and upping those numbers to 48 tackles, 4.5 TFL, and 2 sacks in 2017.
While McCloud is the most prototypical of Miami’s LBs from a physical standpoint, his career so far has been marked with inconsistency.
