In this episode of Storm Sessions, we sit down with Miami Hurricanes linebacker Wesley Bissainthe. A Miami native, Wes shares how he found football at a young age and quickly fell in love with playing linebacker, a position he's stuck with ever since. He talks about growing up in the heart of Miami’s football culture, the competitiveness of the youth scene, and his championship run at Miami Central, where he and current teammates like Reuben Bain won three state titles.

Wes reflects on his recruitment journey and what led him to The U, including the moment Coach Cristobal made Central his first stop after taking the job. He shares some of his favorite moments in a Canes uniform so far and how he’s using his platform to give back, most recently through a team mission trip to the Dominican Republic to help build basketball courts for local communities. We close out the episode with fan-submitted questions for a deeper look into Wes’s story.
