With Notre Dame coming to the Rock on Labor Day Weekend, the Hurricanes know they need to beef up their front. The staff wasted no time in arranging a visit for former five-star recruit and Kentucky transfer DT Keeshawn Silver.



The 6-foot-4, 336-pound behemoth is scheduled to visit Miami tomorrow, December 11th. He's visiting the Florida Gators today, and he has plans to visit USC on Thursday. He will conclude his visits with a stop at Michigan on Friday and Saturday.

Keeshawn Silver originally signed with the North Carolina Tar Heels in the 2021 recruiting class. He was rated as the No. 31 player overall and the No. 6 defensive lineman in the nation. Silver also played basketball and averaged 7 points and 6 rebounds per game. He then transferred from North Carolina to Kentucky.



During the past season with the Kentucky Wildcats, Silver recorded a total of 26 tackles and one sack. His standout performance occurred in week nine when the Wildcats faced the Auburn Tigers. In that game, Silver registered four tackles and a sack. He played 313 snaps overall this season. He earned a a sterling 80.9 run grade and a pass-rush grade of 73.6.

Stats don't matter or tell the story at all with this position. You need at least one or two of these guys for depth on your Dline always. Takes up the blockers for the Linebackers and helps with the defense against the run.

Hopefully there is a ton of $ to toss at the portal since we whiffed on big recruiting flips. I’d have to believe the budget shifts to the portal.

Everything will work better with a guy like this in the middle. Big time DT/NT do not come available very often.

This is an area where I bring in multiple guys in HS if they meet certain height/weight/athletic marks. If we had 2-3 guys like this, it would unlock new formations that we just can’t do right now without exposing ourselves.

Hopefully the figure out how to line up and shift the front to match the offensive alignment. Even if he eats 2 blocks every time we're still out-leveraged many times this year.
