DeMarcus Van Dyke is headed back to Miami.

Mark Richt and the Hurricanes have hired the former UM cornerback to be their new defensive quality control analyst according to Steven Feld of Goal Line Football.

VanDyke spent this past season coaching cornerbacks at ASA College in Miami. He told InsideTheU's Chris Stock this past March that his goal was to return to his alma matter as a coach.

“It’s a great start to get my foot in the door for coaching and hopefully in three to five years from now I’ll be in the SEC or back at Miami,” Van Dyke said.

“The program is awesome,” he added. “It’s getting back to how it used to be. Coach Richt, coach [Ephraim Banda], coach [Mike Rumph], and coach Manny Diaz] has the defense flying around and I’m excited to see what they’re going to do next year. The first year was a great year. I’m excited for next year as well.”

Van Dyke was on campus this past July for Richt's annual Paradise Camp. The former NFL cornerback helped guide an ASA Miami defense that ranked fourth in the NJCAA in passing yards allowed this past season.
