D’Eriq King will be visiting the University of Miami this weekend, and the former Houston Cougars quarterback is eligible to play right away. The five-foot-eleven, 195 pound King came to Houston as a quarterback-slash-wide receiver but settled in as the starter for Major Applewhite. He’s a big time playmaker with a weird situation as Applewhite was fired and Dana Holgorsen took over the Cougars.
Over his career, King has thrown for 4,925 yards for an 8.2 yards per attempt average and tossed 50 touchdowns with only 10 interceptions. King also completed almost 62% of his passes at Houston, adding another 28 rushing touchdowns and three receiving scores.
