CORAL GABLES, Fla. —University of Miami seniors Jason Fox and Randy Phillips will join head coach Randy Shannon at the 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff on Sunday and Monday, July 26-27 in Greensboro, N.C.
Fox – an Outland Trophy candidate – has 36 career starts and will enter his third season as UM’s full-time starting left tackle. Phillips – UM’s most experienced member of the secondary – returns to his safety position in 2009 after receiving a medical hardship last year after missing the final 11 games.
The two UM players and Shannon will represent the Hurricanes at the event that marks the official beginning of the conference’s 2009 season. Players and coaches representing the ACC’s other 11 schools will join the Hurricanes at the media event.
