Jarren Williams had a tumultuous two years as a part of the Miami football program. Williams redshirted as a freshman in 2018. Former head coach Mark Richt refused to give Williams a chance in more than one game. The Georgia native could have played in parts of four games and maintained his redshirt.
Redshirt freshman N’Kosi Perry and redshirt senior Malik Rosier were exceptionally inconsistent during the 2018 season that caused the Miami offense to be one of the most ineffective in college football. Miami was 113th in passing offense in 2018, 115th in passer rating and 118th in completion percentage.
