Watch: Miami Edge Rueben Bain Jr. | 2025 Players To Watch

Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. makes our list of ACC players to watch in 2025, as he has been a terror for opposing offenses since he first took the field for the Hurricanes.  Bain suffered an injury early in the Hurricanes' first game of the season and missed a significant portion of the season, resulting in lower counting stats in 2024; however, his analytic stats remained elite. Since 2023, Bain has had a 16.9% pass-rush win rate, which is fourth among returning Power 4 players, and his 73 pressures in that time are third in the Power 4. He isn't just a great power rusher, but he is an all-around defender. In 2024, he received a grade of 82.7 in run defense by PFF. Hear what Miami Head Coach Mario Cristobal and other Miami players have to say about what an impactful player Rueben Bain Jr. is.
