Rusty Medearis

Rusty was borderline unstoppable!! Even with all of the injuries he had to deal with. Dude was still able to carve out a nice lil legendary career in a very short period of time.

That 91 team was nasty!!!!!!!

Go Canes!!!!

He was a beast. I remember that game against Texas Tech. He was unstoppable.

I'M sure some people on this board found a way to critizised the team. Funny how things go.

Rusty is my all time favorite player on defense. He was a complete monster that was extremely talented and played with reckless abandon. I haven’t seen anyone play at UM like him at DE until Phillips this last season.

That team would have beaten anyone late in the season, they were rolling

No question about it, that was one of the top 10 individual performances by one of ours all time in my opinion. I couldn't even begin to pick a top 10 in order, but it was awesome to see in person.

What could've been with that man.

I thought country boys didn’t fit in at Miami though?

Willis and Rusty can be in the same sentence when that sentence is "Willis ain't no Rusty."

Miami football was a mentality back then no matter where you were from or the color of your skin. Everyone wanted to compete and eat. Bama replicates what we did in the day.

Semper Canes!!!

My all time favorite cane

Rusty was awesome. Relentless & unstoppable at times. I love the suffocating style of play we had in those days (in all phases of the game). We attacked on defense. Our speed was an absolute killer in all phases. Our mindset & confidence put us over the top.

Let me tell you a story about Rusty.

If I’m not mistaken JJ went to a HS game to see a stud OL tackle and WALA this stud was get destroyed by Rust a skinny DE that absolutely annihilated the OL stud.

After the game JJ went straight to Rusty and ask if he’s being recruited, Rusty said he has ZERO offers or any corespondents from any college.

JJ said young man I’m coach JJ of the University of Miami Hurricanes and I’m offering you a full scholarship, will you please play for me.

Rusty broke down in tears , this moment ignited a of PASSION that fueled Rusty to be one of the greatest DE in the U history.

True story brothers.

Not to be slept on....that d line could get it done against any team.

 

[Jassid82]

One of the most forgotten Cane great of all time. He would have been a top 2 DE in Canes history had he not gotten hurt. (Stubbs) I think he would have benefited from todays technology when it comes to injuries. But definitely a legendary player on that 1991 team. Dont forget his performance against FSU in 1991 too.

It was 1991. If you were posting on an internet board, the only person reading those posts was like Bill Gates.
