Waynmon Steed Jr. remains a veteran, downhill linebacker with proven production for Miami
Steed is a sixth-year redshirt senior linebacker who brings experience, run-stopping toughness, and proven production to Miami’s defense. In his breakout 2021 season, he played in all 12 games, made eight starts, and finished second on the team with 54 tackles while adding 3.5 tackles for loss and a sack. His value is not just stats: he has a history of making impact plays in the box, a reliable track record across multiple seasons, and the kind of veteran steadiness that can fit a defense needing an experienced, physical linebacker.
