Miami’s star power showed up on the Associated Press’ All-Time All-America teams, unveiled for the 100th anniversary of the AP All-America honor. The Hurricanes placed four legends on the two-deep: Ed Reed made the first team at safety, while Bryant McKinnie (tackle), Warren Sapp (defensive tackle) and Bennie Blades (safety) landed on the second team. The AP panel evaluated only college careers and required at least one AP first-team selection.
Ed Reed
Reed’s first-team nod is the headliner. A two-time consensus first-team All-American (including AP in 2000–01), he left Coral Gables with the school records for career interceptions (21) and interception return yards (389), and he keyed a defense that finished No.
