Award, TE Brevin Jordan for the John Mackey Award, QB D'Eriq King
for the Maxwell Award, Davey O'Brien Award and Earl Campbell Award
and DE Jaelan Phillips for the Chuck Bednarik Award. Borregales
(Groza), Hedley (Ray Guy) and King (Campbell) went on to be named
finalists for those respective awards in late December.

marked the Hurricanes' highest poll position since Nov. 26,
2017.
• Miami was ranked #18 in the final College Football Playoff
rankings on Dec. 13; it was UM's second time ever being included in
the final CFP rankings. • QB D'Eriq King picked up ACC Quarterback
of the Week three times this year, including on Nov. 9; he has
thrown for 2,573 yards and 22 TDs while adding 520 rushing yards
and four rushing TDs. One of the nation's most electrifying
players, King earned All-ACC Honorable Mention recognition.
• Miami became the first school to participate in the game
selected for the site of ESPN College GameDay three times in the
first five weeks of the year in the show's history; UM, who is 15-9
in games selected for GameDay site, was picked for games versus
Louisville, Florida State & Clemson this fall.
• On July 27, Diaz named King Miami's starting quarterback for
the season. King, who announced his decision to transfer to Miami
in January 2020, compiled 82 total touchdowns, 4,925 passing yards

from Southern Methodist. He also added wide receivers coach Rob
Likens, who spent 2019 as offensive coordinator at Arizona State,
and offensive line coach Garin Justice, who was offensive
coordinator at UNLV. Diaz also added UM legend Ed Reed as Chief of
Staff.

"BREAK OUT THE CHAIN AGAIN!" TURNOVER CHAIN IS BACK FOR 2020•
When CB Al Blades, Jr., intercepted a pass in the second quarter of
a road win over Louisville on Sept.
19, fans across the country awaited the unveil of the newest
turnover chain - version 4.0 for 2020.• The chain, which previously
featured a charm in the shape of the iconic 'U' (2017), Sebastian
the Ibis
(2018), and the notorious '305' Miami area code (2019),
showcases a charm with the famous school logo inside the state of
Florida. The charm weights 300 grams while the chain is 30 inches
in length.
The chain took three months to complete, and was designed by
famed jeweler Anthony "AJ the Jeweler" Machado - he designed the
first three versions of the Turnover Chain and Touchdown Rings.
• Inspired by legendary coach Howard Schnellenberger's 'State of
Miami' recruiting plan, the only three counties in the state
featuring Miami colors are Dade County, Broward County & Palm
Beach County.
• After the unveiling of Miami's now infamous turnover chain in
2017, Miami led all of Power-5 with an average of 1.95 turnovers
forced per game from 2017-2019. The Hurricanes were tied with
Wisconsin for No. 1 among all Power-5 teams with 76 turnovers
forced over the span, including 20 last season.

HARLEY EMERGED AS FORCE AT WIDE RECEIVER IN SENIOR SEASON• WR
Michael Harley earned his first ACC Receiver of the Week honor
after a standout game vs. Virginia on
Oct. 24; Harley hauled in a career-high 10 passes for a
career-high 170 yards with one touchdown.• The senior doubled down
with another dominant game versus NC State; Harley had eight
catches totaling
153 yards including two touchdowns to capture his second
straight ACC Receiver of the Week honor.• In Miami's game at Duke
(Dec. 5), he posted another 100-yard outing (105) - including an
89-yard
touchdown reception that now stands as the fourth-longest
passing play in Miami football history.• Harley leads the
Hurricanes in receptions (49) and receiving yards (730) and has
added six touchdowns.• The Fort Lauderdale native has 117 catches
totaling 1,546 yards and nine touchdowns for his career.• In just
10 games, Harley shattered his entire 2019 junior season output (38
catches, 487 yards, 3 TDs).• Harley became the third Hurricane with
back-to-back 150-yard receiving games, joining Phillip Dorsett
and Andre Johnson. He became just the sixth Hurricane to record
multiple 150-yard receiving games ever.• Harley's 170 yards vs. UVA
were the most versus an ACC team since Allen Hurns had 173 vs. Pitt
in 2013.• Harley's 10 vs. UVA catches were tied for the second-most
by a Miami player since Miami joined the ACC
and came two short of tying the program record; it marked the
most catches by a Hurricane since 2017.• The 170 yards were the
most by a Hurricane since Phil Dorsett had 201 versus Arkansas
State in 2014.• Harley's 10 catches tied TE Christopher Herndon (10
versus Syracuse in 2017) and were two shy of tying
Dorsett (12 versus USF in 2012) for the most by a Hurricane
player since Miami joined the ACC in 2004.
BOLDEN BREAKING OUT IN SECONDARY, THORPE AWARD SEMIFINALIST• One
of Miami's top defenders this season was S Bubba Bolden, who has
started seven of 10 games and
who leads the Hurricanes with 65 tackles this season. He was
named to the 2020 All-ACC Second Team.• On Dec. 7, Bolden was

HURRICANES PASS-CATCHERS HAVE ENJOYED IMPRESSIVE '100' STREAK•
Miami's pass-catching contingent, thanks largely to a surge by WR
Mike Harley, have enjoyed a streak of
five consecutive games with at least one player posting a
100-yard receiving game dating back to Oct. 24.• Harley, enjoying a
career year, is responsible for three of those games; WR Dee
Wiggins has one as does
TE Brevin Jordan, who had a career-best outing in Miami's loss
to North Carolina last time out on Dec. 12.• The Hurricanes'
current five-game streak of 100-yard receiving games is the fourth
time since 1992 - when
UM had Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta at quarterback - that
Miami has managed the feat.

STARTING TO CLICK: 10 80-YARD SCORING DRIVES IN LAST FIVE GAMES•
After posting just two scoring drives of 80-or-more yards in its
first five games, the Miami offense has
posted 10 such scoring drives in its last five games - including
three in a win at Duke (Dec. 5).• Miami's final touchdown drive
versus Duke - of 91 yards - was its longest scoring drive of the
season.• Miami had just six scoring drives of 80 yards or more in
all of 2019 and none in its final three games.
MIAMI RANKS SECOND IN CONFERENCE WINS SINCE 2015 SEASON• Since

TOUCHDOWN RINGS ARE BACK, HAVE COME OUT OFTEN THIS SEASON• When
RB Cam'Ron Harris took a 4th-and-1 carry 66 yards in the first
quarter of Miami's win over UAB, a
familiar jewelry made its season debut on the Miami sidelines:
the Touchdown Rings, version 2.0.• Also designed by famous
Miami-based jeweler Anthony Machado, the Touchdown Rings are made
of orange
and green sapphires and contain 829 stones. The rings weigh 100
grams combined.• The rings, which took roughly three months to
complete, spell out the words "THE CRIB" when held together
- an homage to a quote from Broward County-born DL Nesta Jade
Silvera, who, on National Signing Day 2018, asked, "Why not make
the crib great?" in announcing his decision to sign with the
Hurricanes. Miami's coaching and recruiting staffs rallied behind
Silvera's proclamation on NSD '18.
SOUTH FLORIDA SUN SENTINEL (Feb. 16, 2018) — On National Signing
Day, Nesta Silvera walked onto the stage at American Heritage in
Plantation with a handful of his teammates, three of whom — like
him — were among the most highly recruited high school football
prospects in the nation.
And on that stage, in the spotlight cast by ESPN, Silvera smiled
and uttered a phrase that thrilled the Miami coaching staff and
immediately endeared him to the Hurricanes fan base.
"Why not make the crib great?" Silvera responded when asked why
he'd just signed with Miami while three of his Heritage teammates
had chosen to attend Florida, Alabama and Georgia. "I could go to
Tuscaloosa, I could go to Gainesville, I could go to Tallahassee
and make those schools great. Why not make the crib great?"
In Coral Gables, Hurricanes coaches cheered his words — and
shared that celebratory video on social media. Across South
Florida, Miami fans latched on to a new rallying cry and Silvera,
almost immediately, became the bright spot on a day when the
Hurricanes weren't able to sway a few of their late recruiting
targets.
HARRIS HAS HELPED CARRY MIAMI OFFENSE IN FIRST YEAR AS STARTER•
Making the fifth start of his career and his second as full-time
starting running back, RB Cam'Ron Harris
delivered a 134-yard performance in the Hurricanes' 47-34 on the
road at Louisville on Sept. 19.• Harris had a career-long 75-yard
touchdown run in the win - Miami's longest rush since DeeJay Dallas
had an
83-yard touchdown versus Duke in 2018. Harris has started eight
of nine games at running back for UM.• Harris had a 134-yard,
two-touchdown performance in Miami's 31-14 win over UAB in UM's
season opener.• A consensus four-star prospect by every major
scouting service, Harris - who went by Cam'Ron Davis in 2018
but changed his last name to match his father's last name prior
to the 2019 season - was ranked as the No. 9 running back in his
high school class and No. 167 overall prospect in the 2018 class by
ESPN.
• Harris played behind Travis Homer (2018) & DeeJay Dallas
(2019), who are both with the Seattle Seahawks.

TWO-HEADED TIGHT END MONSTER HAS DELIVERED FOR HURRICANES 'O'•
Miami boasts one of the nation's top tight end tandems in juniors
Brevin Jordan and Will Mallory, who have
been listed as co-starters on the offensive depth chart and who
both started last time out at Duke (Dec. 5).• Jordan, who missed
three games in the middle of the year but returned in a win at
Virginia Tech (Nov. 14), put
on a show versus Louisville (Sept. 19) , finishing with seven
catches for 120 yards and a 47-yard touchdown. • Mallory opened
Miami's scoring with a 17-yard touchdown reception in the first
quarter of the win at Louisville.
He had the first multi-touchdown game of his career in a win
over Pittsburgh (Oct. 17). Both have four TDs.• Jordan, who was the
only Hurricane selected to the All-ACC Preseason Team, was a Mackey
Award finalist last
year and was selected to the 2019 All-ACC First Team. The duo
has combined for 590 yards and 8 TDs in 2020.

BORREGALES, ROCHE & WILLIAMS MADE TRANSFER PORTAL IMPACT IN
2020• It wasn't just QB D'Eriq King who elected to spend 2020 at
The U; DE Quincy Roche (Temple), K Jose
Borregales (FIU) and OL Jarrid Williams (Houston) decided to
enjoy their final years at The U.• Roche delivered a dominant
career at Temple, totaling 137 tackles, 39.5 tackles for loss and

seasons. He was named American Athletic Conference Defensive
Player of the Year in 2019, ranking No. 5 in FBS with 13 sacks and
No. 11 in FBS with 19.0 tackles for loss with the Owls.
• Roche, who will skip the bowl game to prepare for the NFL
Draft, was a third-team All-ACC selection.• Borregales, the
all-time leading scorer at crosstown FIU, finished his Panthers
career with 281 career points. A
Lou Groza Award finalist as a top kicker in 2018, he was named a
Groza finalist on Dec. 22.• The ACC Specialist of the Week for his
game vs. Louisville, Borregales had a career-long 57-yard field
goal and
went 4-for-4 on field goals. He is the nation's third active
leader in career field goals made.• Williams, who has started nine
games at right tackle for UM, started all 13 games at the spot for
the Cougars
in 2018. He saw action in four games last year before suffering
a season-ending injury.
15 NEW HURRICANES, 11 FRESHMEN MAKE DEBUTS IN 2020 SEASON
OPENER• Among the 15 Hurricanes to make their debuts against the
Blazers on Sept. 10, 11 were either true freshmen or
redshirt freshmen. True freshmen with the most snaps in Week 1
included RB Jaylan Knighton and RB Donald Chaney, Jr. The redshirt
freshman with the most snaps against UAB was WR Jeremiah
Payton.
• Seven players made the first starts of their UM careers vs.
UAB: QB D'Eriq King, OL Jarrid Williams, OL Ousman Traore, DE
Jaelan Phillips and DE Quincy Roche, DT Nesta Jade Silvera and LB
Bradley Jennings, Jr. King (Houston), Phillips (UCLA) and Williams
(Houston) had all started at previous schools before Miami.
FOUR MORE PROCANES SELECTED in 2020 NFL DRAFT #NFLU• Four
Hurricanes were selected in the 2019 NFL Draft: Shaq Quarterman
(fourth round, Jacksonville), DeeJay
Dallas (fourth round, Seattle), K.J. Osborn (fifth round,
Minnesota) and Jonathan Garvin (seventh round, Green Bay). As of
Sept. 7, 2020, all had secured spots on those teams' 53-man rosters
entering the year.
• For 46 consecutive years, Miami has had at least one player
selected in the NFL Draft; the University of Miami leads all
programs in the ACC in draft picks since 2000 (119). No program in
the ACC had more alumni
on NFL 53-man rosters than the Hurricanes did entering Week 1 of
the NFL season, when Miami boasted 31 former players and more who
were on practice squads.
• Just this season, Frank Gore set the NFL record for most NFL
games played by a running back, while #TightEndU veterans David
Njoku, Greg Olsen and Jimmy Graham all scored TDs in Week 1
action.
CAROL SOFFER INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY OPEN FOR BUSINESS• On
August 17, 2018, history was made at the University of Miami, as
the Hurricanes practiced inside the Carol
Soffer Indoor Practice Facility. The $34 million project changed
the complexion of Miami Football.• In September 2016, Miami
announced the largest donation in the history of the athletics
department as the
lead gift for a state-of-the-art football indoor practice
facility. In honor of their mother Carol, Jeffrey Soffer and
Carol’s other children made a $14 million commitment to Miami.
• Former coach Mark Richt pledged $1 million towards the
facility and football alumnus and linebacker great Jon Beason was
among those alumni to donate. Beason’s gift was $250,000, as Miami
alumni and former players teamed up to contribute more than $2
million for the project.
• The 81,800-square-foot facility features two field-turf fields
– one 90 yards long and an additional 40-yard field directly
connecting to the Squillante Strength and Conditioning Center.

GAME 9: MIAMI ROUTS DUKE, POSTS FIRST ROAD SHUTOUT SINCE 2000•
Miami continued its last season surge with its most dominant win of
the season on Dec. 5 - a 48-0 romp
of Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium on Dec. 5. The Hurricanes posted
their first road shutout since 2000 (versus Syracuse) and their
first shutout of a Power-5 opponent - also vs. Syracuse - since
2001.
• Miami's 48-point margin of victory was its largest ever in an
ACC game, besting the previous high of 45, which had been done
twice ever - against Wake Forest in 2004 (52-7) and Duke in 2005
(52-7).
• QB D'Eriq King had another strong outing for the Hurricanes,
finishing with 248 yards with three passing touchdowns and one
rushing score. He linked up with WR Michael Harley on a 89-yard
touchdown in the win - the fourth-longest pass play in Miami
history and the longest since 2007.
• TE Brevin Jordan had four receptions for 75 yards and a
touchdown, RB Donald Chaney, Jr., added four receptions for 81
yards and WR Dee Wiggins had a touchdown. Harley had 105 yards in
the win.
• RB Cam'Ron Harris rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns while
King added an 11-yard TD rush.• Miami forced five turnovers and
held the Blue Devils to a paltry 177 total yards of offense.
Miami's elite
tandem of DE Jaelan Phillips and DE Quincy Roche combined for
four sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss. • Roche, CB Marcus Clarke, LB
Corey Flagg, TE Dom Mammarelli and S Amari Carter each wore the
turnover chain. Clarke recorded his first interception while the
others recorded fumble recoveries.
GAME 8: UM COMES BACK AGAIN TO TOP HOKIES, 25-24 IN BLACKSBURG•
The Hurricanes maintained their winning ways with a
come-from-behind 25-24 victory at Virginia Tech
on Nov. 14. Trailing for most of the game, Miami held on after
going ahead with 5:59 remaining.• QB D'Eriq King had another strong
outing for the Hurricanes, finishing with 255 yards on
24-for-38
passing and one touchdown. He added a 10-yard rushing touchdown
- his third rushing score of 2020.• WR Dee Wiggins was King's
favorite target in the win against the Hokies; Wiggins finished
with a
career-high eight catches for a career-best 106 yards. It was
his first career 100-yard game at Miami.• RB Cam'Ron Harris rushed
for a score, while WR Mark Pope had the go-ahead touchdown catch.•
A week after being named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week, Jaelan
Phillips put together another
dominant game; Phillips had eight tackles and career-high totals
of 4.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.• STRK Gilbert Frierson
(eight tackles, two sacks) and CB Te'Cory Couch (first interception
of career)
also shined for the Hurricanes defense, which totaled 11 tackles
for loss and six sacks in the victory.• Phillips (Defensive Lineman
of the Week) and P Lou Hedley (Specialist) were honored by the
ACC.
GAME 7: MIAMI FIGHTS BACK TO TOP NC STATE, 44-41, IN ROAD
THRILLER• Miami won an absolute thriller in a Friday night matchup
with a come-from-behind 44-41 victory at NC
State on Nov. 6. The Canes were trailing by 10 points in the
fourth quarter but emerged with a road win.• QB D'Eriq King had one
of the best performances ever by a Miami quarterback in the win;
King became
just the third ACC quarterback in history to throw for more than
400 yards (430) and rush for 100 yards (105). He added five
touchdown passes - one short of the Miami single-game standard
(6).
• King's 430 passing yards were the seventh most by a Miami QB
in a single game in program history.• The two ACC QBs to record
400/100 games were Louisville's Lamar Jackson and Clemson's Tajh
Boyd.• King was named ACC Quarterback of the Week and Walter Camp
National Off. Player of the Week.• WR Michael Harley finished with
eight catches and 153 yards, as well as two touchdowns in the win.•
DL Jaelan Phillips led Miami with a career-high 10 total tackles
while CB DJ Ivey had an interception.• Harley was named ACC
Receiver of the Week while Phillips was ACC Defensive Lineman of
the Week.
GAME 6: HARLEY LEADS MIAMI TO 'W' VS. UVA, MIAMI IMPROVES TO
5-1• The Hurricanes, who had an open date the weekend of Oct. 31,
saw QB D'Eriq King throw for 322 yards
in the victory over UVA. It was the eighth 300-yard passing game
of his career and second at Miami.• WR Michael Harley was named ACC
Receiver of the Week after a standout performance against the
Cavaliers; Harley hauled in a career-high 10 passes for a
career-high 170 yards with one touchdown.• Harley's 170 yards were
the most versus an ACC opponent since Allen Hurns had 173 vs. Pitt
in 2013.• Miami's offense got off to a hot start, needing two
offensive plays before scoring in 28 seconds - King
hit TE Will Mallory for a 32-yard gain on the first play before
a touchdown connection with Harley.• DL Jaelan Phillips led Miami
with seven total tackles while LB Bradley Jennings, Jr. added a
sack..

MANNY DIAZHEAD COACH | SECOND SEASON AT MIAMI (SECOND OVERALL)
|14-9 (.608)
Manny Diaz, who has deep roots in the Miami community and
catapulted the Hurricane’s defense to elite status during his three
years as the team’s defensive coordinator from 2016-2018, was
announced as the 25th head coach of the Uni-versity of Miami
football program on Sun., Dec. 30.
“Manny is one of the nation’s elite coaches and the Canes Family
has already embraced him and his incredible work ethic over the
past three years,” said UM Director of Athletics Blake James upon
his hiring. “He is absolutely the passionate and innovative leader
that our program needs, and we will work together to build an
incredible staff to move our program back into championship
contention.” The Hurricanes accepted a bid to the 2019 Walk-On’s
Independence Bowl in Diaz’s first year at the helm in Coral Gables.
The Hurricanes, who finished 4-4 in ACC play, saw three players
selected to the All-ACC First Team in tight end Brevin Jordan,
linebacker Shaquille Quarterman and defensive end Gregory Rousseau
- who was also named ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year and a
second-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of
America (FWAA).
Diaz, who has an impressive resume during nearly two decades as
a defensive specialist coaching several collegiate programs,
accepted his dream job of lead-ing a Hurricanes team he believes is
destined to return to the top echelon of col-legiate football in
the years to come. During his 19-year coaching career, Diaz, the
son of a former Miami mayor, also named Manny Diaz, has coached in
18 bowl games, amassing a 13-5 record in bowls, and has coached
numerous all-conference and NFL players at six col-legiate
institutions.
Miami delivered another stellar season on defense in 2018. The
Hurricanes ranked No. 4 in the nation in total defense and ranked
No. 1 in several categories, including tackles for loss, third down
conversion percentage and passing yards allowed. Defensive tackle
Gerald Willis earned All-American honors from several outlets while
linebacker Shaq Quarterman was named to the All-ACC First Team -
one of eight all-conference picks.
Continuing the impressive trends from Diaz’s first year running
the defense, the Hurricanes ranked among the nation’s leaders in
several defensive categories in 2017, including first nationally in
team sacks, third nationally in tackles for loss and ninth
nationally in opponent yards per play. Five Hurricanes on the
defensive side of the ball earned 2017 All-ACC honors while another
three picked up Honor-able Mention recognition. Thanks in large
part to his dominating unit, Miami also ranked No. 5 nationally in
turnover margin, No. 8 nationally in fumbles recovered and No. 15
nationally in passes intercepted.
Miami’s defense enjoyed vast improvements under Diaz’ watch and
served as one of the top units both in the ACC and nationally in
his first season in 2016. At the conclusion of the 2016 season,
Miami was ranked No. 20 nationally in total defense (up from No. 69
the previous season), No. 9 in yards per play (No. 86 in 2015), No.
12 in scoring defense (No. 77 in 2015), No. 5 in tackles for loss
(No. 105 in 2015), No. 22 in team sacks (No. 70 in 2015) and tied
for No. 8 in defensive touchdowns allowed (No. 61 in 2015).
Miami was the only team in the country to start three true
freshmen lineback-ers, and the Hurricanes’ trio of Zach McCloud,
Michael Pinckney and Shaquille Quarterman helped anchor the unit.
Three defensive players earned ACSMA All-ACC honors - senior
defensive backs Corn Elder (second team) and Rayshawn Jenkins
(honorable mention) and Quarterman at linebacker (honorable
mention).
In 2015, Diaz’s defensive unit helped Mississippi State to a 9-4
record and a victory over NC State in the Belk Bowl. His defensive
unit held opponents to just

23.2 points per game and ranked in the nation’s top 10 in red
zone defense and tackles for loss.
Diaz spent one season, 2014, at Louisiana Tech and his impact
was felt in a big way. The Bulldogs led the nation in turnovers
gained (42) with 16 fumble recover-ies and 26 interceptions. Before
his stop at Louisiana Tech, Diaz coached three seasons at Texas
(2011-13). His 2011 defensive unit ranked ninth in total yards per
play.
In 2010, during his first stint at Mississippi State, Diaz
guided a defense that ranked No. 22 in the nation in scoring
defense (19.9 ppg), No. 17 in rushing de-fense (214.9 ypg) and No.
17 in tackles for loss (7.0 pg). MSU also finished ranked No. 13 in
red-zone defense (.730) and No. 22 in turnovers forced (28)
nationally in 2010.
Before his first stop at Mississippi State, Diaz spent four
seasons as defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State. Diaz
coached linebackers for two years after mentoring the safeties
during his first two years.
Diaz spent the 2000 and 2001 seasons at NCSU as a graduate
assistant working primarily with the linebackers. During that time,
the Wolfpack went to two bowl games and became the first ACC team
to beat Florida State in Tallahassee.
Diaz began his coaching career at Florida State in 1998. In his
two years as a graduate assistant, he was on the same coaching
staff as former Miami head coach Mark Richt and was part of the
Seminoles’ national title-winning coaching staff in 1999.
Diaz and his wife Stephanie have three sons: Colin, Gavin and
Manny.
