Since Manny Diaz has been at Miami, his defense has always featured a steady presence of top tier pass rushers who can set the edge. Namely, when Diaz was Defensive Coordinator from 2016-2018, Miami saw tenacious pass rushers Joe Jackson, Chad Thomas, and Trent Harris come through the U - all of whom have had varying degrees of experience in the NFL.
When Diaz took over the head coach duties in 2019, the defensive end position was expected to feature Jonathan Garvin and Trevon Hill, but it was Redshirt Freshman, Gregory Rousseau, who ended up getting seven starts and becoming a nightmare for opposing QBs as he tallied 15.
