Zach McCloud can’t help but smile a bit when he thinks back to what life was like a year ago.
Then, he was a wide-eyed freshman trying to navigate his way around Miami’s campus while trying to adapt to the rigors of college football as an early enrollee at a major program.
These days, McCloud is a season veteran. And the linebacker’s smile grows even bigger when discussing how one of his newest teammates, Bradley Jennings Jr., is faring as he makes the same transition McCloud and fellow linebackers Shaquille Quarterman and Mike Pinckney were making last year.
