MIAMI HURRICANES

A former Milford prep product on the current Cane team is OL Brandon Washington, and he talked about what it meant to be part of that prep program.

"It's a really good program," Washington said. "You get what you need - go to school, go to class. Academics is first. It was tough, somewhere I didn't want to be. I stuck it out, grinded it out. I was sent there for a reason - I had to do what I had to do to get back here. And look where I made it from. It made me a better person, better man. It gave me a different outlook on life. I appreciate everything I've been through in life. It makes you a better man."
