Zach McCloud’s journey with the University of Miami football program has been a long and interesting one.
After choosing to only play four games and redshirt in the 2019 season, McCloud wound up gaining an extra two seasons at Miami because the NCAA declared that 2020 would not count as a year of eligibility because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He is the only player left on the Miami roster from the 2016 recruiting class.
McCloud will spend his sixth year on campus playing a different position for the Hurricanes. The Miami Herald reported this week that McCloud will work at defensive end rather than linebacker, where he has played for the past five seasons.
