physical, disruptive Miami LB who brought heat in the middle
Jordan Futch was a hard-hitting Miami linebacker whose best trait was his violence at the point of attack: in the 2011 spring scrimmage, he led the defense with 9 tackles and 2 sacks, and Miami also trusted him as a starter in key spots that season.[4][7] He was praised for his toughness and intensity, with reports describing him as a punishing hitter who could make plays in the box.[9][15] The main caution: his Miami career came with injury concerns, including a documented heat-exhaustion scare in 2011, so he fit best as a tone-setting, physical defender rather than a low-maintenance volume star.[13]
