Miami's Rueben Bain Jr. was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year last week. The junior defensive lineman has tallied 4.5 sacks, 37 tackles (7.5 for a loss), intercepted a pass and forced a fumble this season as the Hurricanes held opponents to 13.8 points per game, which makes them the sixth best scoring defense in college football.
Two years ago Bain was the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, last year he was first team all-ACC and next year he'll be one of the top picks in the NFL draft.
