In terms of defense, the Miami football club has two lineman and a safety that could emerge as standout performers in 2024. Miami’s 2024 breakout seasons might potentially include true freshman defensive tackle Justin Scott, transfer edge rusher Tyler Baron, and safety Mishael Powell.
Scott should gain from the uncertainty surrounding Michigan State transfer defensive tackle Simeon Barrow. A story stating that Barrow was not with the Hurricanes surfaced on Friday, following his relocation to Miami in early May. Transfers C.J. Clark and Marley Cook would be the anticipated starting if Barrow leaves as stated.
With Cook and Clark at DT, Miami lacks experience. In 2024, Scott ought to compete with Miami’s returnees Anthony Campbell, Joshua Horton, and Ahmad Moten for DT snaps. Only in 2023, during his debut season with Miami, would Campbell face Temple. Horton took part in three games in 2023. In 2023, Moten participated in 11 games.
In the 2024 class, Scott was the top player in Illinois, the third defensive lineman, and the tenth-ranked signee. Scott is the sixth defensive player, the 12th overall signee, and the highest-ranked defensive lineman in Miami history. By mid-2024, Scott should be the third defensive end in the rotation, even though Cook and Clark will probably start the entire year.
