MIAMI GARDENS — There are a lot of interesting things I could tell you about Dolphins defensive tackle Brandon Pili. You probably already know that he’s 6 feet 3, 319 pounds, a second-year undrafted player from USC who hails from Alaska, and he grew up in Barrow, Alaska, America’s northernmost town, a town that’s north of the Arctic Circle.

This offseason, the Dolphins had a first-round pick on draft day for the first time since taking wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and edge defender Jaelan Phillips in 2021.

The former Miami transfer split snaps with true freshman EJ Colson, who started the game over fifth-year senior KJ Jefferson, and provided a much-needed spark for a Knights’ offense that was listless in two straight losses. Yet it wasn’t enough as Cincinnati (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) rolled to a 19-13 win on Saturday, sending UCF (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) to its third straight loss. “We just felt like we needed a change.
