Seattle Seahawks scouting executive Alonzo Highsmith has accepted a position at his alma mater, the University of Miami, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Highsmith will be the Hurricanes' general manager of football operations, as was first reported by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The Miami native returns to the program he starred for as a fullback from 1983 to '86. A member of the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame, Highsmith finished his college career with 2,935 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns, one coming in the 1984 Orange Bowl victory over Nebraska that earned Miami the '83 national championship.
