Former Miami Hurricanes running back Alonzo Highsmith delivered an awesome quote about “swag.”
The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman published a deep dive into the Miami program on Friday talking about the Hurricanes’ search for lost swag.
Highsmith, who played for Miami from 1983-1986 and later became the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft, told Feldman what “swag” means.
The great @alonzohighsmith explaining “swag” might be the best football quote I’ve heard in years https://t.co/RlhqfmcnZE pic.twitter.com/6Z5w2Ui1Je

Highsmith’s point is that hard work is the driving force behind all of Miami’s success, and that the swag the program became known for was a byproduct of that hard work.
Highsmith is now the VP of Player Personnel for the Cleveland Browns. The Canes achieved a No. 1 ranking in three of his four years, and finished the season ranked No. 1 in 1983.
Miami is looking to get its swag back after making a head coaching change from Mark Richt to Manny Diaz in late December.
