Last night, the Chicago Bears made a move up the the NFL Draft board by selecting Miami Hurricanes cornerback Tyrique Stevenson with the 56th overall pick in the 2nd round. Stevenson, a product of Miami Southridge High School, started his college football journey at the University of Georgia. The Bears traded up four spots with the Jacksonville Jaguars to ensure they could acquire the physical corner, further strengthening their already promising secondary.

After playing his first two seasons at Georgia, Stevenson transferred to the University of Miami, where he continued to develop his skills and caught the attention of NFL scouts. His selection marks the first Hurricane to be picked in this year's draft. This addition to the Bears' roster means their secondary now looks formidable, with Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon joining forces with the newly-drafted Stevenson.

Several other Miami Hurricanes are hopeful of being picked up by NFL teams today during rounds 4-7, or potentially as free agent signings. These prospects include tight end Will Mallory, linebacker Mitchell Agude, cornerback DJ Ivey, offensive lineman DJ Scaife, and punter Lou Hedley amongst others.

Former Miami Hurricanes and Chicago Bears great Devin Hester announced the team's selection.
