Miami Hurricanes Football

The University of Miami Hurricanes football team is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference and one of the preeminent programs in all of college football. Miami has won five national championships (1983, 1987, 1989, 1991 and 2001), all of which have come since 1983, making it the most successful college football program of the past 25 years.

'NFL U'

Miami has had unrivaled success in producing players who go on to the National Football League. The Hurricanes hold the record for most players selected in the first round in a single draft (6, in 2004); most first-round draft picks in a two-year period (11, from 2003 to 2004); most first-round draft picks in a three-year period (15, from 2002 thru 2004); and most first-round picks in a four-year period (19, from 2001 thru 2004). This remarkable pipeline from Miami to the pros has led to the university being dubbed "NFL U".
