Rohan Marley Miami Hurricane

I’ve always been a fan of Reggae music and when you say Reggae you have to think of Bob Marley. My wife and I went to Jamaica on our honeymoon and we had a great time, but I liked the music before we went.

Bob Marley was simply just cool. Tragically, Marley died of cancer in 1981 but out of several children, he had a son named Rohan.

The younger Marley was raised by his mother after his father passed away in Miami. Rohan played

high school football at Miami Palmetto High School and he was good enough to be offered a football scholarship to the nearby powerhouse Miami Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes were one of the nation’s great teams back in those years. They won 5 national championships between 1983 and 2002 and they were one of the national champions in 1991 the year that Rohan Marley signed with them.

Marley was undersized for a Linebacker at 5-8, 205, but the Hurricanes were always built on speed so his lack of size really didn’t matter.

When Marley signed with the Canes, they had the Bermuda Triangle returning at Linebacker. The guys nicknamed the Triangle consisted of talented Linebackers Darrin Smith, Michael Barrow and Jessie Armstead. They were the top three tacklers for the Hurricanes in 1991. If interested, I wrote more about those three Linebackers here: Triangle

All three of the Linebackers returned in 1992 and led the team in tackles. But, in spite of that, Marley was 7th on the team in total tackles as the Canes finished 11-1.

In 1993, the Bermuda Triangle had gone onto the NFLĀ  and Marley stepped up and led the team in tackles that season. Future Pro Football Hall of Fame member Ray Lewis was 4th on the team in tackles that season before he exploded.

While Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson was the second leading tackler among Defensive Tackles only behind the great Warren Sapp who also is a member of the Hall of Fame.

Rohan Marley was playing with the big boys and he was competing.

Marley was injured in 1994 and Ray Lewis had taken over leadership and put up huge numbers at Middle Linebacker.

Despite his lack of size, Marley was fearless and of course he was fast. Watching old film of him playing, he was uncanny with avoiding blocks and getting to the ball carrier. Whether you are a

Miami fan, or a Miami hater, Marley was that undersized over achiever that made him a fan favorite.

Marley played a season in the Canadian Football League, but then he was out of football.

 

Rohan Marley was born into money. But, like most everyone else, Marley had to find his own way. It took a few years, but he co-founded Marley Coffee and he became a hugely successful businessman.

While playing at Miami, Marley fathered a child named Nico. Last season, Nico Marley was the leading tackler for Tulane. Nico has a lot of the same physical characteristics of his father. He’s a little taller at 5-10, but he’s only around 210 and his game is built on speed.

The Marley name has been synonymous with Jamaican music. But, now you can add football and coffee, man.
