30 key Miami Hurricanes for 2025 season: Justin Scott primed for a breakout
The Miami Hurricanes kick off the 2025 season on Aug. 31 with a marquee matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Hard Rock Stadium (7:30 p.m., ABC). With the calendar officially flipped to August, the Miami Herald is counting down 30 of the most important players on the Hurricanes' roster, one per day leading up to the season opener, to provide a closer look at the team heading into coach Mario Cristobal's fourth season. Today: The No. 15 player on our list, Justin Scott. Position: Defensive line Hometown: Chicago Year: Sophomore How he got to Miami: 2024 recruiting class Key stats: 7 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack in 12 games In summary: Of all the first- and second-year defensive linemen on the Hurricanes' roster, Justin Scott is the most poised for consistent playing time — and to potentially crack the starting lineup. The former five-star prospect only played 113 snaps on defense last year while playing behind a slew of veteran defensive tackles in Simeon Barrow, C.J. Clark and Marley Cook, but flashed potential in his limited reps and has the size (6-4, 303 pounds) to make an impact on the interior. He had a sack in UM's game against Florida A&M and was credited with six quarterback hurries on the season, according to Pro Football Focus. Expect him to at a minimum be part of UM's defensive tackle rotation along with David Blay and Ahmad Moten. 'You can feel yourself getting better in a sense where I can feel myself doing things now that I struggled with last year such as not getting knocked back and getting full extension converted into a pass rush move. My footwork, I'm not taking such long strides. I definitely can feel it on the field.' - Justin Scott on why he feels he can have a breakout season 'Last year, he had some older guys in front of him, so that may discourage you with playing time and things like that, but now he's saying that it's his time to shine and his time to take the wheel of the car. He's ready to drive it. He's ready to drive it the right way. He's coming to practice every day with the right mindset, and meetings with the right mindset, making sure guys stay up, make sure they're taking their notes, making sure young guys are listening. He always says, 'You're not a freshman no more.' He's ready to play.' - Defensive lineman Rueben Bain Jr. on Justin Scott 'This guy's getting a lot more violent, and he's getting smarter. He's a guy who was behind older guys last year, so I feel like that makes him feel like he has a chip on his shoulder, like he kind of has to prove himself. So you can see that on the field. He's very competitive. I love watching Justin play.' - Defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor on Justin Scott No. 16: Wide receiver CJ Daniels No. 17: Defensive lineman David Blay No. 18: Defensive lineman Ahmad Moten No. 19: Center James Brockermeyer No. 20: Wide receiver Keelan Marion No. 21: Defensive back Jakobe Thomas No. 22: Left guard Matt McCoy No. 23: Defensive back Keionte Scott No. 24: Running back Jordan Lyle No. 25: Defensive back Damari Brown No. 26: Defensive lineman Armondo Blount No. 27: Wide receiver Malachi Toney No. 28: Defensive back Ethan O'Connor No. 29: Linebacker Kamal Bonner No. 30: Running back CharMar Brown

Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh, 43, looks incredible as she strips off to a bikini in Ibiza
GIRLS Aloud star Kimberley Walsh looked incredible as she stripped off to a bikini for a holiday in Ibiza. The singer, 43, showed off her incredible body as she soaked up the sun on a luxury break away. 6 6 6 6 The sexy singer, who is mum to Bobby, 10, Cole, seven, and three-year-old Nate with husband Justin Scott, 42, was enjoying some time with her friends on a girls trip. She shared the holiday with her followers on Instagram, and posted several incredible bikini snaps. In one picture Kimberley - who shot to fame in 2002 on Popstars: The Rivals - showed off her toned, tanned body in a brown bikini. In another, she sizzled in a white two piece. Posting the pics on Instagram, she wrote next to them: "A weekend away with my girls we've waited 6 years for and it was good for the soul. "Spending quality time like this is SUCH a treat. "We laughed till we cried, reminisced and I loved every second of it. "I am SO lucky to have these ladies in my life." Fans immediately rushed to compliment her on the stunning snaps, with one writing: You look incredible!" Watch the heartbreaking moment Girls Aloud's Nadine breaks down in tears live on stage during tour While another added: "Absolutely stunning!" This one said: "Hot stuff!" GIRLS ALOUD REUNION Kimberley was in her early 20s when she found fame in Girls Aloud, along with Cheryl, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle, and the late Sarah Harding. Following Sarah's sad death from breast cancer, aged 39, the band got back together last year for their sell out tour, The Girls Aloud Show. Speaking about reaffirming their friendship, Kimberley told The Sun: 'We all reconnected in a really solid way, and that happens really quickly when you're spending every day together. "I'd still speak [to Nadine], but we'd lost touch on that level. "That was one of the real treats of this whole thing, because I'd forgotten how hilarious she is. She had us howling. 6 'I loved learning the things we'd missed out on. It's different now that we've got kids." While there were lots of laughs on tour, there were also a lot of tears, as the motivation for going back on the road was to have a celebration of Sarah. 'It was so emotional for us,' Kimberley admitted. 'I'm not going to lie, during rehearsals when it was just us, the dancers and the people close to us, we had to let it all out. "It was tough, but it made us stronger by the time we came to the actual shows." 6 FUTURE OF GIRLS ALOUD When asked about the future of Girls Aloud, Kimberley said: 'We would never have thought we'd have done the tour. 'No chance. It was almost like a bonus for me that I didn't know I needed. "It was so special. So, basically, anything is possible. I think that's the way to live, isn't it?'
