Early life

A native of Irvington, New Jersey,[1] Muhammad attended Paterson Catholic High School in Paterson, New Jersey, but the school closed after his freshman year, and he then transferred to Don Bosco Preparatory High School in Ramsey, New Jersey, where he was a four-star defensive end, ranked as the No. 1 NFL prospect in New Jersey.[2]

College career

In 2013, Muhammad committed to the University of Miami. As a freshman he played in five games, making 6 tackles and 2.0 sacks. Muhammad was handed a season-long suspension for an altercation involving a former roommate after Miami's spring game; he missed the entire 2014 season. In 2015, he played in 12 games and finished the season with 54 tackles, 8.5 for loss and 5.0 sacks. But Muhammad missed the 2016 season after he was suspended and later dismissed from the football program along with teammate Jermaine Grace for his role in a luxury rental car scandal that violated NCAA rules.[3]
