Ethan O'Connor Shuts Down Opponents | Miami Heat News

Ethan OConnor, Miami’s redshirt junior cornerback who transferred from Washington State, is making waves as a lockdown shutdown corner—starting all four games in the College Football Playoff run last season while allowing just 310 yards and one TD on 51% of passes thrown his way. Part of a formidable Miami secondary alongside Xavier Lucas, O.J. Frederique, Damari Brown, and Ja’Boree Antoine, O’Connor’s impact is undeniable: 28 tackles and five pass breakups last year. With the Hurricanes gearing up for their Sept. 4 opener against Stanford on ESPN at 9 PM ET, O’Connor embodies the grit and execution needed under coach Mario Cristobal to chase another deep playoff run.
