No. 21 Miami: DT Gerald Willis III

There weren't a ton of positives from an opening week loss to LSU, but Miami did find an emerging star in defensive tackle Gerald Willis. The former Florida Gator recorded four tackles for loss, a QB hurry and a pass breakup. Before the season, Mark Richt pointed to the defensive tackle spot as his biggest concern. Willis has ensured there's at least one strong solution there. -- Hale

How long have we begged/prayed for a legit DT? We FINALLY have one with another (Nasty Nesta) that looks like he will follow.

Most important position on the defense. If you don’t have dominant presence there chances are your defense isn’t good.

I can't wait to see what he does to that brutal FSU OLine.
