2025 Miami Hurricanes Position Previews Defensive Tackle
The defensive tackle position at the University of Miami has a long and storied tradition dating back to the early 1980’s and the emergence of Jerome Brown as a household name. Since Brown Miami has produced NFL Hall of Fame DT’s in Warren Sapp and Cortez Kennedy, as well as the 1st overall draft pick in Russell Maryland.
SetNumber: X39239 Miami DT Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson went on to Hollywood and WWE stardom while Big Vince Wilfork won two Super Bowls with the New England Patriots. Whether the DT’s were more traditional like Brown and Sapp, or the lanky speedsters like Jimmie Jones and Patrick Riley, Miami spent the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s as “DT U.”
