Jonathan Garvin had a breakout season for the Miami Hurricanes in 2018. The rising junior defensive end led Miami defensive linemen with 60 tackles and added 17.0 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, five pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and a fumble return for a touchdown. Miami loses Joe Jackson as the other defensive end.
Virginia Tech graduate transfer Trevon Hill, redshirt freshman Gregory Rousseau, rising senior Scott Patchan and rising freshman Jahfari Harvey give co-defensive coordinators Blake Baker and Ephraim Banda and defensive line coach Todd Stroud a lot to work with.
