He was the best DE I ever saw play at UM. Now, I never saw Ted Hendricks play as it was before my time, but Rusty Medearis was the most disruptive guy I ever saw. Will never forget a Nebraska player asking which team was better after losing to Miami, Washington or Miami. He said, "Miami. Washington didn't have #98."
I shook Rusty's hand right before we jumped center at the start of a high school basketball game. My "big" hands felt like a child's in his banana hands! What a beast. Congrats, Rusty!
+Scott Woodcock I covered Rusty during high school. Yes, he was fairly large, but after his first year at college, he came back and wow, he was then huge in comparison
That is my dad! It is so cool to hear him speak
+JenaLee Medearis Wow...I feel old. I covered Rusty as a sports editor during his high school years.
+JenaLee Medearis Tell him Jeff Haskins from the Ozark Headliner (back then anyway) said hi
ok he said he remembers you

JenaLee Medearis Tell your dad Hurricane Nation still loves him and always will!
rusty was a beast that game against nebraska was amazing best de i ever saw at miami
Nice too have him as a student at OHS. Represented the high school with great finesse.
Seriously dated his sister when I got divorced 12 years ago. Got to know him pretty well. Wish him the best always.
Congratulations Rusty! Well deserved....
greatest defensive end at Miami
Great acceptance speech, Congratulations Rusty
Rusty !! 98
Ridiculous numbers in his first 2 seasons. He was a pass rush specialist. Relentless.

I still remember that dirty hit on Rusty from Arizona game
If Rusty played at a program with class such as Notre Dame, his knee wouldn't have gotten broken. He would have been a nfl hof as well.
What are you talking about? A program with class? Gtfoh!
