One of the more beloved Hurricanes to come through UM in recent memory, Dallas was a fan favorite. In three seasons at Miami, Dallas rushed for 1,528 yards and rushed for 17 touchdowns. In 2019, Dallas rushed for a career-high 694 yards, and scoring 10 total touchdowns. A versatile player, Deejay also showed his skills in the passing and punt return game.
