K.J. Cloyd brings proven tackle production and disruptive edge as a seasoned Miami linebacker
In his 2023 season at Miami, K.J. Cloyd was a reliable rotational-to-starter linebacker who played in all 12 games, made six starts, and finished fifth on the team with 42 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks. His value is in his versatility, burst in the backfield, and ability to contribute without needing the spotlight. For a team, he looks like a tough, experienced defender who can help against the run, create negative plays, and bring steady intensity rather than flashy volume.
