Two Miami Hurricanes football players were named to the ESPN's top under-the-radar-prospects heading into the 2026-27 college football season and the 2027 NFL Draft.
Miami Hurricanes defensive back OJ Frederique and defensive tackle Justin Scott were both named by ESPN. The defensive duo played a big part in the Hurricanes playoff run this past season.
Frederique is coming into his junior season with high expectations after having another solid season with the Hurricanes. He broke out his freshman season when he recorded a total of 27 tackles and one interception. This past season, he tallied 19 tackles and seven pass breakups.
This past season, Justin Scott was one of the best defenders for the Hurricanes. He recorded a total of 26 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble -- which was against Notre Dame in week one.
Both defensive players expect to have a big impact on the Hurricanes defense heading into the new year. The duo are expecting to be a part of the main anchor for the Hurricanes defense.
Do you agree with ESPN? Are both prospects heading into the 2027 NFL Draft under-the-radar? Let us know down below!
Ok. That’s the case for any player in America. But if he’s starting, that means the staff feels he’s the best option for that spot. So, if he ***** up, odds are it’s a downgrade. Not sure this is a valid stance.
