After four years as a key Hurricanes cornerback, DJ Ivey is going pro.
Ivey was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round on Saturday following a successful five-year career at Miami.
“It’s been a long five years,” Ivey said at Miami’s Pro Day in March. “Just been a grind, honestly. Different coaches coming through, different people, different players you meet. It’s all about how you’re going to stay the course, stay focused and just grind it out, for the most part.”
Ivey is a Miami native, signing with the Hurricanes out of South Dade High in Homestead.
