The Miami football team has the depth to absorb the loss from the sudden retirement of redshirt freshman Jason Blissett on Monday night. Blissett went into depth on Instagram speaking about the impact concussion have had on him and his life. The concussions were the major reason behind Blissett medically retiring from football.

Miami returns all of their defensive tackles in 2021 and signed five-star Leonard Taylor and three-star Allan Haye to add on the interior of the defensive line. Blissett had seven tackles for Miami in 2020 and finishes his career with nine tackles and one tackle for loss.
