Good: Te’Cory Couch, CB
With three interceptions, Te’Cory Couch has locked down his side of the field. If he does allow a catch, you better believe Couch has limited the yards from his receivers with the best of them.
Great: Xavier Restrepo, WR
Underrated no more, Xavier Restrepo has hauled in two touchdowns and 355 yards on 24 catches. He’s always open because of his separation abilities, and he’s quicker than a hiccup over the middle of the field.
Grand: Matt Lee, C
Arguably one of the top transfer portal victories for any school across the nation, Matt Lee has been dominant on the offensive line for Miami.
He’s winning his reps in both pass protection and in the run game, improving in each game and causing havoc for opposing defensive lines.
Wonderful: Tyler Van Dyke, QB
Rewinding the clocks back to the 2021 season, where Tyler Van Dyke generated worthy first-round buzz, he’s been lights out so far in 2023. He’s making the right decisions, trusting his arm, and spraying the field with accurate passes to every level.
Van Dyke’s in consideration for eclipsing the top tier among ACC QBs, and that’s a feat in its own right.
