Prized portal DT David Blay commits to Miami

Miami landed one of the fastest rising defensive linemen in the nation with the commitment of Louisiana Tech DT David Blay.

A four-star Portal prospect, Blay made First-Team All-Conference USA this season with 46 tackles, 10.5 TFLs, and 6.5 sacks. He was particularly dominant against Arkansas, with 5 tackles, 2 TFLs and a sack. One source said he was “the best player on the field” against the SEC opponent.

The 6’4, 303-pound Blay is a native of the Philadelphia suburbs. He originally signed with D2 West Chester as a 6’2, 280-pound unrated prospect. Blay blossomed after a redshirt year, with 39 tackles, 13 TFLs and five sacks. He then transferred to Louisiana Tech, where he made 16 tackles as a redshirt sophomore before his breakout junior campaign.

Blay earned a 76.9 run defense grade from PFF, and a 64.7 pass rush grade. The Canes targeted a premium DT to pair with homegrown talent in Ahmad Moten, Justin Scott, and Josh Horton.

Blay chose Miami over Penn State, Oklahoma, USC and Illinois.

Good ****, this guy next to the youngins and Moten is huge upgrade. And we can leave Mesidor (if he comes back) at end where he belongs. Let's just hope Guidry aint throwing him in coverage anymore lol

Nope. We'll have a solid offense. We will be a solid team from here on. Next, we'll see if we can get to the next level

This is going to sound crazy, but i hope we lean on the run a bit more next year while getting a little more exotic. I highly doubt the exotic part will happen

I like him better than Silver-His agility and quickness stands out-

He’s going to get his sacks.

I’d be surprised if that’s the case

I still think Guidry would be fine with better personnel. Stuff on film that scares me from a scheme and alignment standpoint but i think it’s more personnel related due to stupidity than anything

What's strange is that Guidry looked good the previous year. WTF happened in a year's time? I know we didn't have much talent in the secondary, but I don't think that explains all of the drop-off.
