  06/21/21 - OLB Zach McCloudrSr/2022, Miami, 6-2, 246 (DS#42 OLB) + More +

  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

  One of the Miami Hurricanes' biggest "surprises of spring so far" - in the words of Jess Simpson - started off as little more than a joke at the end of last season. McCloud was still with the linebackers for most of practice leading up to the 2020 Cheez-It Bowl, and the redshirt senior sat in a meeting while Miami went over its third-down package. "I can do that," McCloud quipped as the Hurricanes talked through a defensive end's responsibility. He was "just kind of like being cocky," McCloud said. "I was making a joke." Coach Manny Diaz "perked up," McCloud said. Miami's two star defensive ends weren't going to suit up for the Cheez-It Bowl, instead opting to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft, and it left the Hurricanes with a massive void at a former position of strength.

A new experiment began. McCloud practiced at defensive end that day and has been there every day since. He came off the bench as a defensive end in the bowl game and spent the entire offseason planning around a full-time position change, adding about 25 pounds throughout the winter and studying NFL edge rushers "with a similar body profile" to his 6-foot-2 frame. With Jaelan Phillips and Quincy Roche gone to the NFL, Miami is holding open competition at both end spots, and Simpson said McCloud has been one of the biggest surprises. - Miami Herald

  Miami coach Manny Diaz says senior linebacker Zach McCloud has chosen to redshirt this season and preserve his final year of eligibility for 2020. McCloud was a three-year starter at Miami but appeared only sparingly in the Hurricanes' first four games this season, with the team primarily using two-linebacker sets instead of having three on the field as in years past. McCloud can still appear in one more game this season and be eligible for the redshirt, under a new NCAA rule that went into effect in 2018. Shaquille Quarterman and Michael Pinckney have gotten the overwhelming majority of the snaps at linebacker this year. - AP College Football
