Chase Smith had his best game as a Miami Hurricane on Saturday night at Clemson. In a 41-13 win at Death Valley, the senior linebacker finished with nine tackles and five defensive stops (tackles that constitute a "failure" for the offense), which led the team in those categories.
Former Miami Hurricanes linebacker Wesley Bissainthe has joined the lawsuit seeking a fifth year of college eligibility, according to reporting from CBS
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Time and injuries can hurt many players and their confidence. For Miami linebacker Chase Smith, time was all he had. Smith is one of two players remaining from the Manny Diaz era of the Miami Hurricanes, but he was kept around for a reason.
Shocking but true, the Miami Hurricanes have one of the youngest teams in college football entering the 2026 season. Most of their starters are freshmen or sophomores, with a few other players sprinkled in there as juniors and seniors.
No. 2 Miami has one of the best defenses in the country. It will be said time after time again this season, but on all levels on the defensive side of the ball, the Hurricanes have depth and players that can get after.
