When Miami Dolphins assistants Gerald Alexander and Austin Clark were college assistants, they had their eyes on rookie draft pick Jevon Holland as a high school standout.
Although their recruiting efforts were to no avail (Holland went to Oregon), the Dolphins appear ecstatic about Holland and his potential to fill a significant a major role on Miami’s defense in 2021.
“Listen, you see the nice shiny things that Oregon has? They got uniforms. They’ve got buildings. All I’m doing is selling academics. You know what I’m saying? He wasn’t really worried about that part. He knew he was getting to the league,” Alexander said with a laugh on recruiting Holland on Tuesday.
