Miami has landed one of the most prolific pass rushers in the country with the signing of defensive end DeAnthony Lafayette.
A 6-foot-1, 230-pound edge rusher from Orlando, Fla., Lafayette is lightning quick off the edge and closes well.
Last season he racked up 73 tackles, 40 QBHs and 17.5 sacks in 11 games, and leveled up this season with 19.5 sacks, 30 TFL’s and even 5 touchdowns as a running back.
He was originally committed to LSU before flipping to the ’Canes in November.
Looking at his film, Lafayette creates havoc in both the run and pass game, complementing his speed with an underrated amount of power. This is a twitched up athlete whose burst and change of direction have all the signs of a natural rushing threat.
