Rumph was a first-round pick in 2002 after finishing his Miami career as a two-time first-team All-Big East selection and a starter on the 2001 national championship team. Starks, a first-round pick in 1998, starred for the Hurricanes as a junior college transfer before going on to score on an interception return in the Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win.
Dorman won the 2015 NCAA title in the 3-meter springboard and set an NCAA record in the event. Garcia remains Miami's all-time saves leader in baseball. Foote was Miami women's basketball's first 1,000-point scorer. Tullis-Joyce is now with Manchester United and the United States women's national team. Wimbley left Miami as one of the top sprinters in program and ACC history.
