Emory Williams’s Selection by the Steelers Ties Miami Hurricanes Football Record with 14 Draft Picks in a Single Draft

History was made once again for the Miami Hurricanes football program. With quarterback Emory Williams hearing his name called by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami officially tied its long-standing record of 14 players selected in a single NFL Draft. It’s a monumental moment for “The U” — a powerful reminder that Miami is not only back but thriving in a way that echoes the glory days.

The moment Williams was selected, the celebration erupted across Hurricanes Nation. His selection wasn’t just about personal achievement — it symbolized the culmination of an extraordinary draft class, one that showcased the depth, talent, and development happening within the Miami program under its new leadership. Fourteen players — a staggering number — will now get their shot to make an impact at the next level, and Williams helped put the exclamation mark on a historic weekend.

For Emory Williams himself, it’s a dream come true. After battling through adversity and steadily improving during his time at Miami, he caught the attention of NFL scouts with his poise, arm talent, and mental toughness. His work ethic, leadership, and clutch performances down the stretch of the season showed that he’s the type of quarterback NFL franchises want to build around — tough, smart, and relentless.

Landing with the Pittsburgh Steelers feels almost poetic. Known for their hard-nosed culture and emphasis on character, Pittsburgh seems like the perfect home for Williams to continue his growth. He’ll have the chance to learn from a legendary organization, while also bringing the same determination and swagger that made him beloved at Miami.

Tying the record of 14 picks — a mark first set by the Hurricanes back in 2004 during one of the most talent-rich periods college football has ever seen — cements this year’s Miami team among the program’s all-time greats. It’s not just about individual brilliance; it’s a testament to the culture being built in Coral Gables. Players are developing. Players are winning. And players are getting drafted.

It also sends a clear message across the landscape of college football, especially in the newly realigned B1G Conference: Miami is a powerhouse once again. With this influx of NFL talent and the momentum it generates, recruiting will only heat up even more. Top high school prospects will look at Miami and see a fast track to the league — just like it was in the early 2000s.

The Hurricanes’ incredible draft haul shows the depth and versatility of the program too. From explosive offensive weapons to shutdown defensive backs, Miami players were flying off the board across multiple rounds, proving that this isn’t a fluke — it’s a foundation being laid for long-term success.

As the NFL Draft winds down, Miami fans have every reason to celebrate. Emory Williams’s selection by the Steelers wasn’t just another pick — it was the final piece to an unforgettable draft class that reminded the world that “The U” produces greatness.

The storm is brewing once again — and the B1G better be ready.
