Bryant McKinnie will be inducted into Miami's Ring of Honor at halftime of Saturday's game against Stanford, joining Ken Dorsey (to be honored later), Andre Johnson and Dan Morgan in the Hurricanes' 2025 class.
A junior-college transfer from Lackawanna (Pa.), McKinnie redshirted in 1999 and then started at left tackle in 2000 and 2001 as Miami went 23–1 during that stretch and won the 2001 national championship. Across those two seasons he did not allow a single sack, an outlier level of pass protection that helped quarterback Ken Dorsey and a balanced offense roll through the Big East and the BCS title game.
