On defense, Miami has historically produced incredible players both at the U, and then those who went on to have incredible careers in the NFL. While defensive backs and defensive tackles are what people know them most for producing, linebackers might be their most impressive position on the defensive side of the ball.
For years, all you’ve heard about is how Penn State is “Linebacker U” however, Miami has certainly given them, and the rest of the country a run for their money.
In Miami’s history, they’ve produced countless legends at linebacker, including 8-first-team All-Americans.
While I count down the top 5 linebackers in school history let me remind you, I'm only taking into consideration these players accomplishments during their time at Miami.
