The dream continues for Al Blades Jr.
Blades, 18, the son of late Miami Hurricanes standout safety Al Blades Sr., received an exceptionally rare honor this week.
While standing on the Greentree Practice Field, Blades learned from coach Mark Richt that after only two games of his inaugural college season, he would be one of four captains to represent No. 21 UM (1-1) for its next game at Toledo (1-0) at noon Saturday.
The young cornerback, whose father died in a car crash in 2003 after celebrating his 26th birthday, wasn’t quite sure that could be true.
