The Miami Dolphins continued their streak of taking a small-school player in five straight rounds of the 2014 NFL draft when they selected Marist defensive end Terrence Fede.
Fede, who is the first player to ever be drafted from Marist, likely gained scouts’ attention at his pro day, when he posted an impressive 40-yard dash time of 4.76 seconds, with a 10-yard split of 1.62.
Fede was named an FCS second team All-American after setting a single-season school record with 13 sacks in 2013 to earn Pioneer Football League Defensive Player of the Year honors and was also named to the 2013 Walter Camp FCS All-America Team.
He leaves Marist as the program’s career leader with 30.5 sacks.
Fede arrived at Marist as a two-sport star (basketball) out of Nyack, New York. After seeing action in eight games as a freshman, he sat out the 2010 season. Fede returned with avengance in 2011, earning second team All-PFL honors before really bursting onto the scene as a first team All-PFL performer with 9.0 sacks in 2012.
