UM's irrepressible Rush End Trent Harris

Advertisement
I like the kid... He knows he doesn't have prototypical size at his position, so he comes in, pays attention, and learns what he's taught (and sticks to the sorry Dorito script), despite not being as physically gifted as some of the other Pass rushers on the team.

Now, him being 20+ yards down-field in coverage; I don't blame him for that! I think that's the biggest gripe people have with him, is the image of him giving up a TD in the corner of the endzone. -- As if it's his fault he was even asked to do that!!

25 sacks in his junior and senior year. He was known as one of the better pass rushers in the 2014 class in Florida. He definitely has talent. Yall schleep...
 
We should support this kid and be happy for him. Sounds like he works his **** off. I'm happy he's getting his shot. If for some reason he doesn't produce, then it's fair to call that out. So far, so good.
 
So we're angry that a guy who has played in 13 games and got 8 tackles and 2 sacks is backup to a guy who has played in 14 games with 20 tackles and half a sack?
 
I personally like the kid as a prospect. But anyone who calls him Toolbox Trent is, indeed, an entire box of tools.



/and anytime someone points out a player's #1 attribute as "he does his job" it just makes me think of how antithetical that is to the program that produced Ed Reed and Sean Taylor
 
I just can't see why people are mad that a 4* from Florida who has accomplished more is playing over a higher rated 4* from New Jersey. AQM is a beast but Trent has done more on the field in the same amount of games.

There are spies among you...
 
Trent Harris has a knack of making plays! Dude great rush of VT QB got QB unsettled to a fumble that Trent recovers...for a 3-yd TD by UM RB.

How is VTech sorry defense making Kaaya hear footsteps? These footsteps got Kaaya not cool under pressure. VTech DT approaching the QB got Kaaya rushing the subsequent passes.

IF Kaaya ever MASTERS throwing while under pressure and or with footsteps looming, Kaaya will be unstoppable!

...that big IF

Rush End Trent Harris led the Canes defense with five tackles in the season-opening 45-0 romp over Bethune-Cookman last Saturday, UM’s first shutout since the start of the 2010 season. Harris had 11/2 tackles for loss and was credited half a sack, pretty good production considering he was only in on 22 plays.

“Honestly, I had no idea,” Harris said of leading the team in tackles. “The whole defense went out there and did their jobs. We dominated as a whole.”

Miami hasn’t had a pass rusher produce more than five sacks in a season in the last four years. Nicknamed Toolbox Trent by the staff, Harris might or might not be the next Hurricanes pass rusher to eclipse that mark. Either way, the coaching staff loves him because he has become the perfect example of what Golden wants: a reliable, trusty player sustaining the integrity of playing assignment Football and who keeps getting better and “plays the defense exact every play.”

“He’s done nothing but get better since he got here,” defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio said of Harris last week after he was tabbed the starter coming out of camp over more highly touted high school prospects Demetrius Jackson and Al-Quadin Muhammad. Both Jackson (6-5, 248) and Muhammad (6-4, 256) were four-star prospects, according to Rivals.com. Harris (6-2, 251) was a three-star recruit.

“What Trent does at an elite level is he does his job, ultimately, that’s what you want. Trent’s a really good player.”

Toolbox Trent and UM’s vastly deeper defensive line will have to play good assignment football and tackle well or they could end up on the field for a long time. FAU held the ball for more than 37 minutes and ran a total of 96 plays against Tulsa.

“I came here to win,” Harris said. “I’m going to do whatever I can to help my team win. When we practice, I just practice hard, do what the coaches ask. Most of the time when you do the right thing, what coaches ask, it puts you in a position to do a big play. As long as I do my job, the plays will come to me.”
