Can a true freshman ever be an All-American?
Well if there is one player at the University of Miami that can be, then this is who he is: Duke Johnson, RB/KR (5-9, 188, Miami, Fla.):
- Four-time ACC Rookie of the Week
- 1,688 all-purpose yards (2nd nationally among freshmen, 9th nationally)
- Ranks third all-time in UM history in single-season all-purpose yards
- 779 kick return yards (1st among freshmen, 4th nationally)
- Owns single-season school record for KR yards, ranks 10th in career KR yards
- Tied for school record with 2 KR for TD
- Leads nation with 5 50+ yard kick returns
- Leads UM with 705 rushing yards
- Amassed UM-record 368 all-purpose yards at Virginia – fourth-most in ACC history.
So we encourage the local media to vote for Duke and do it early and often.
Who knows what might happen?

The best team at the U right now is our hockey team. The Canes were 17-0 last year
(first year of the program) and this year they are among the very best teams in division 3.
CGNC, OGV, Ohio, 86 and co. you will love this feature...Boston College wait for us in about 2 years...Support the UM hockey team!

Coach Barrow never at a loss for words:
Duke Johnson on his way to becoming most prolific kickoff return man in Canes history
"A few times we've missed a layup, had a guy inside the 20 and missed a tackle," Barrow said. "We also have to get better ball placement where scheme is setup. We went from being one of the tops in the ACC to now we kind of slipped on a banana the last few games. We have to get back to our training and what we do well, and challenge our guys to get off the milk cartons and make plays."

Mike isn't just worried about his family liking him? He actually wants his players to play better and be deployed properly? Sounds like he might actually be overqualified for the coaching job he has at UM then. Somebody promote this guy!
