We can have a legitimate debate about the best D-tackle in UM history and we will never resolve the issue because there are so many great ones.
BUT, the D-tackle combo of Russell Maryland and Cortez Kennedy must be, without a doubt, the best D-tackle duo in Canes history, and I would argue one of, if not the best in college football history.
And if you include their professional accomplishments I would argue they are hands down the best d-tackle duo in college football history.
#1 and #3 overall selections.
3 super bowls for Maryland
8 pro bowls for Kennedy and NFL all-decade team for the 90’s and pro football HOF
