The FAU football team announced Sunday afternoon that quarterback N’Kosi Perry will start against the University of Florida (UF) for the season opener. Perry is a graduate transfer from Miami, where he played three seasons.
As a Hurricane, Perry went 6-3 as a starter and threw for 2,484 yards with a 52.4 completion percentage. He threw 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Perry also rushed for 217 yards and three touchdowns from 2018 to 2020.
Head coach Willie Taggart and Perry have a history. In 2018 (Taggart’s first year at Florida State), Perry rallied Miami to overcome a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat FSU.
