  06/21/21 - OLB Zach McCloudrSr/2022, Miami

  After five years at outside linebacker, the position at which he was recruited, McCloud is expected to switch to defensive end. And it wasn't some long, thought-out plan. If anything, the switch started by accident. McCloud started to dabble in defensive line ahead of the bowl game against Oklahoma State this past December. And he really had no intention to try something new. "I was like, 'Man, coach, I can do that.' I was being cocky and making a joke, but he perked up and was like, 'Really?' and it kind of turned into a serious thing," McCloud said in March. "I took my first reps at D-end that day and then just started rolling in at practice as a D-end. (It) went from being just that third-down package to, 'Well, if I get caught on the field in base, I have to know that technique.' … It just happened naturally." Defensive end is no small undertaking for McCloud to somewhat jokingly proclaim he can play. Especially at a place such as Miami. The defensive end spot is a big deal at Miami in its 4-3 base system. Just this past year alone, the Hurricanes had three defensive ends drafted into the NFL, two in the first round in Greg Rousseau and Jaelen Phillips. - Montgomery Advertiser
