Cortez Kennedy

Its absolute sophistry to proclaim Cortez Kennedy not being in the same class of both Brown and Sapp. He was thee dominant defensive lineman in cfb in 1989. He just had the misfortune of being a 2 year juco kid who was overweight his first year in the program. He exploded on the scene as a sr after beating out talented Jimmie Jones who finished the 88 season as a starter alongside Maryland. Both Brown and Sapp were identified as potential supas much earlier in their UM careers thus giving fans more to see.

We haven’t been close since those dudes left UM. Had some good DL but the boys were all pro and HOF type players. We will never see that type of dominance by DLs again at UM. Just unbelievable talent and they played with an attitude you cannot teach. They had the “it” factor!

Boy now that we’re talking BEASTS how about Jimmy Jones.

Great recruiting story, I’ll make it quick.

JJ went to a high school practice to see someone else and saw a future BEAST standing on the side line weeping wanting to play but has to work and couldn’t play.

JJ asked him do you want to play DT for me at the University of Miami later became #2 draft choice Dallas Cowboys.

YEAH I’D SAW HE WAS A BEATS🙌

Yep. Sapp was a freak athletically. He was almost inserted at TE when he first arrived! Gino begged Coach E. Looking at him you wouldn’t think. The dude dunked in an intramural BB game, boys from the team lost it.

I believe he was recruited as a TE...then moved to DL by UM coaches

Played some TE in HS but came to UM as a defensive recruit. It is a fact that Gino begged coach E to use him at TE his freshman year. They were more interested in developing another dominant DT like Tez who was AA in 89 and Big Russ who was AA in 90 and won the Outland. Sapp became the answer.
