Miami will have one of the — if not the — most talented defensive lines in the ACC and the country in 2020 with the return of Greg Rousseau, incoming transfer Quincy Roche and Jaelan Phillips.

One of the questions that the Hurricanes are going to have to answer along the defensive line is the starting two tackles. There are several guys with experience at the position such as Jon Ford and Jordan Miller, but I think the most talented guy of the bunch is the guy that I think will breakout this season and his name is Nesta Silvera.

Silvera was a prized four-star recruit in 2018 and has shown flashes of his potential, but has not been fully able to put it all together.

Last season, Silvera was injured to start the season and did not see any action until Oct. 5 against Virginia Tech. Against rival Florida State, Silvera showed his potential by having six tackles and one sack and was bringing constant pressure on the Seminoles.

If SIlvera breaks out this season, Miami could field the best defensive line in the country.
