The Miami football team has three players on the Sports Illustrated list. Defensive end Joe Jackson is 67th, linebacker Shaq Quarterman is 14th and safety Jaquan Johnson eighth.
Hurricanes wide receiver Ahmmon Richards who was 56th in 2017 was left off the list and the all snubbed list for 2018. After a True Freshmen All-American season in 2016, Richards suffered through injuries in 2017. If he can stay healthy there is no reason he won’t be one of the nation’s elite receivers in 2018.
Only four Miami football opponents have players that made the SI list.
