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.

Yes. Spend the money on this one. He doesn't have eye popping states but he is a gap filler and pushes the run outside for our line backers to make plays. Oops, maybe that's a bad idea.

Couldn't help myself:

We need to get him. Will be an absolute terror on edge when he stunts 35 times a game next year.

Is he good in pass coverage ?

Bigger than Cam?

Fair point. This would be on defense and tbh, a close 2nd to cam. Productive war daddies are a rare commodity

Just go watch the Kentucky vs. UGA game from this year. Kentucky's D line was so dominant. Spend what you have to.

big boy won’t care about the weather just the $$$

I think the majority of these battles will come back to recruiting skills once again.

These teams are all going to be in the same ballpark.

If one offers $750k (no taxes) and another offers $1M (15% tax) I suspect that money won't be the determining factor.

Elite DTs abd CBs are tough to come by in the portal. This is the biggest portal oppty signing for Mario since he's been here. If needed, he should overpay for this guy.

Uh, Cam Ward says hi?
