WR: Xavier Restrepo, Miami
Key numbers: 5-10, 198; fifth-year Sr. | 2024: 45 rec., 710 yards, 6 TDs; 2.36 yards/route run; 6 contested catches
He’s not big, and his speed is hardly overwhelming. Restrepo is always open, though. He also doesn’t drop passes, and his vision after the catch is outstanding. Restrepo broke out with an 85-catch, 1,000-yard season a year ago while Tyler Van Dyke was his QB and then immediately became 2025 Heisman hopeful Cam Ward’s best on-field friend upon Ward’s Miami arrival.
The NFL typically complicates things with small-bodied WRs, even when they’re tough enough to win through contact and dependable in any situation. Teams should be careful doing that with Restrepo.

DL: Simeon Barrow Jr., Miami
Key numbers: 6-3, 290; Sr. | 2024: 24 pressures, 7 sacks, 15 run stops
Barrow is still a bit undersized to be an NFL defensive tackle. However, he’s played a little bit of everything up front for the Hurricanes this season — mostly inside but also on the edge and even some in coverage.
Barrow’s explosion, bend and hand efficiency have led to consistent interior pressure. He has at least one sack in five of his last six games.

I figured The Athletic had to be a misnomer because Manny Navarro was on staff.

They had to give back a Pulitzer Prize in the 90s.

Underrated post.

Meanwhile Walter Duranty still has his.
