The Best Football Players in Miami Hurricanes History


Joseph Grund, a financial advisor at Ameriprise Financial Services, enjoys spending free time watching college football. Although a graduate of Yale University, Joseph Grund counts himself a fan of the Miami Hurricanes. 

Many talented athletes have played for the Hurricanes, a program with rich history. The best of these include:

Warren Sapp

This dominant defensive lineman led a 1994 Hurricane defense that finished first in the nation in several categories, including total defense. In the same year, Sapp became the first Miami player to win the Lombardi Award, taking home several other honors in the process.

Ed Reed

The 2001 Hurricanes are considered by some to be the greatest college football team ever, and Ed Reed was their best player. In his four years at Miami, the safety set records for interceptions and interceptions returned for touchdowns that still stand today.

Michael Irvin

Known for his brashness and confidence, Michael Irvin consistently backed up his behavior with outstanding efforts on the field. The Playmaker set numerous receiving records while at Miami, and was key to the Hurricanes winning the 1987 National Championship.
