ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week... Rueben Bain, Jr.

On Monday, the ACC named Miami defensive end Rueben Bain Jr. the ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week for his dominant performance in the Canes’ 26-7 win over rival Florida.

Rueben amassed 10 quarterback pressures, seven tackles, one tackle for loss and 0.5 sacks, earning a stellar 93.8 Pro Football Focus (PFF) grade.

Miami’s defense, anchored by Bain, limited the Gators to just 141 total yards of offense. Florida also failed to convert a single third down in thirteen attempts (0-13). The Canes’ defense allowed only 16 rushing yards on 22 attempts (0.7 yards per carry) and 125 passing yards on 31 attempts (4.0 yards per attempt).

The conference accolade was Rueben’s second ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week this season.

Congratulations, Rueben! Well deserved.

GO CANES!
