Rising Senior Pat Bethel who was the other starting defensive tackle for the Miami football team in 2018 returns to anchor the interior of the Hurricanes defensive line. Miami’s has one of the deepest depth charts at defensive end but is inexperienced at defensive tackle entering 2019.
Bethel has been described as workmanlike. The son of former Miami tight end Randy Bethel finished 2018 with 22 tackles, five tackles for loss and two sacks. In three seasons Bethel has 46 tackles, six tackles for loss and three sacks. He will be the leader of the Miami defensive tackles this season.
