Greg Rousseau named Walter Camp Defensiver Player of the Week

May be a dumb question but being a redshirt freshman, is he still eligible for freshman All American honors? If so, there's no way in **** he can be denied.
 
If Jaelon Phillips is anywhere near the level of GR15 or anywhere near the level of the amount of hype he had out of HS..good god this could be the best DE rotation we have had since the 2001-2002 seasons in 2020. Stroud can't F up this type of talent that he has in the DE room can he? LOL. Its almost impossible! And we have 3 more freaks at DE coming in this class! (Height, QWilliams, CWilliams)

“It’s just becoming his time, you know?” Diaz said. “He missed basically all of last year with injury … Coming to Miami and being able to hone in as a defensive end (after playing TE/S in high school) - he had a great spring, had to battle through a little back issue but we had a role for him, he had a sack in the opening game against Florida. It’s crazy to think he’s a redshirt freshman.

“You won’t find a better guy than Greg Rousseau. And absolutely lives and dies for the Miami Hurricanes and wants to do everything he can to help us win.”

He’s second in college football in sacks, and Diaz says what makes him a special pass rusher is “he’s a long levered guy - he’s got extraordinary athleticism so he can bend. He does have long arms … he can get his hands on you before you can get your hands on him and use his length. His stride, he covers so much ground. A lot of his sacks come from being simply relentless, which is effort. He had another one this past game where he has a good rush going, he reaches out, dives, swipes at an ankle and gets a sack. I bet four or five (of the 12) are just sheer effort. (Effort) is the secret sauce that makes him a special player.”

LOL at Manny now saying he had a “great spring.” I was watching the ACC Network after our game and they brought him up as a guy who needs to be talked about more and one of the guys said they asked Manny after seeing how gigantic he was in person, why don’t we know about him. And Manny supposedly said bc he had “effort issues, and couldn’t be trusted, this spring.”

I have a serious issue with that statement if it isn’t 100% true. Everything that came out was that he was as advertised all spring and couldn’t be blocked, great kid etc. So where did that come from? Is Manny trying to hide his incompetence from not playing him?

Just hope he stays focused and keeps his eye on the prize. The more we win, the more hype hes gonna get, the more interviews that will come his way, the more the national media will want to know more about him.

I sometimes felt like after that 2017 season the guys let that season get to their heads and didn't know how to handle the hype going into that 2018 year especially with LSU being the first game. Too much hype and pub and people telling them that "UM is back!" all summer long leading up to that season.

Hope these guys are a little more level-headed because the more we win, the more attention will come our way especially if we make it to Charlotte on a 5 game win streak and get into the title game. And guys like Rousseau are national names to boot.

The scary part is this kid has played less than 20 games at defensive end in his life. He didn’t start playing the position until his SR year in high school after Manny told him he should try playing DE. Before making the switch he played wide receiver and safety.

Once he really learns the proper technique and how to use his hands he will be unstoppable. What he has right now is crazy athleticism, freakish size and length and a motor that is out of this world. When he adds the technique and a few moves to his God given gifts, we could be looking at a future #1 overall draft pick.

If we make it to a sorry *** bowl game, Manny ought to let him rep as a red zone WR for fvck's sake. As long as no one celebrates with him when he scores. . . 🤔
