Miami has a long history of producing dominant defensive tackles. You don't have to look much further than Jerome Brown, Warren Sapp, Cortez Kennedy, Russell Maryland, and Vince Wilfork to understand that. It’s a position that has generated success on both the collegiate and NFL levels. Kennedy was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012. There is rich history at the position and that history was birthed on Greentree.
Now, Miami has another promising defensive tackle heading to league in Gerald Willis III and the Hurricanes once again have to figure out what’s next for the position and new defensive line coach Todd Stroud must become acclimated in the ways of this Hurricanes defense.
