Nyjalik Kelly, Central Florida, Player News

The Miami Hurricanes still don't have clarity on who might start on the defensive line when they open the season next month against the FCS Bethune-Cookman Wildcats and they like it this way. The defensive line, by all accounts from people there, was one of the highlights of Miami's first preseason scrimmage Saturday in Coral Gables, with enough bodies to rotate three full lines worth of potential contributors and Chantz Williams said not to discount one freshman trying to bust his way into the rotation . Nyjalik Kelly, the defensive lineman said, is "very young, but he's a freak of nature." "I see Nyjalik making noise sooner than most people expect," added Williams, who's playing the same position as Kelly in training camp. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound fres hman from Dillard was one of the prizes of the Hurricanes' Class of 2022 and coach Mario Cristobal's first major recruiting win after he returned to Miami late last year.On the first day of the early signing period in 2021, Kelly picked the Hurric anes over the Oregon Ducks during a ceremony at Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale and immediately became the top-ranked player in Miami's 2022 recruiting class. After the dust settled in the 2022 recruiting cycle and Cristobal added a few more prosp ects, Kelly still wound up as the No. 2 player in the Hurricanes' class - he was the nation's No. 90 overall player, according to the 247Sports composite rankings for the 2022 class - and now he's on the short list of freshmen fighting to play a major ro le for Miami this year. "He's fast and long, and just twitchy and just lanky," said fellow defensive lineman Jared Harrison-Hunte, who made a point to emphasize Kelly's speed. "He's going to be a freak in the future. Just give him a few years. He's going to be good." - Miami Herald

Dolphins legend Jason Taylor doesn't often talk publicly in his new role as a defensive analyst on the Miami Hurricanes football staff. But when he does speak -- usually on his sister Joy's show or with his buddy and former Dolphins broadcast partner Joe Rose -- there's considerable insight. Appearing with Rose on WQAM in recent days, Taylor spoke of the upside of the two defensive line jewels in this incoming Hurricanes freshman class: four-star prospects Cyrus Moss and Nyjalik Kelly."We have a young guy on our team that couldn't play in the spring, a local guy out of Dillard named Nyjalik Kelly; he got hurt last year when we [St. Thomas Aquinas] beat Dillard last year," Taylor said, having worked on the Aquinas staff last year. "[He] didn't ha ve a chance to go through spring and [I] didn't have a chance to see him and scout him a whole lot. But now that he is back healthy and I am able to watch him, holy [cow]! I told him the other day-and I actually told his mother-how special he can be. An elite talent, a kid that can do anything. "He can bend, he can run, he can twist, he's athletic, change of direction, plays with good pad level, he is flexible. He can be the entire package. The crazy thing is Nyjalik had a birthday a few days ago, just turned 18. Early enrollee. The sky is the limit for somebody like him." - Miami Herald
