Coach Mark Richt had just told the young man who grew up loving the Miami Hurricanes that he would be their next starting quarterback.
The reality, however, hadn’t caught up with the moment.
“It was kind of weird,’’ Malik Rosier said Wednesday, “because I even asked, ‘Coach, what’s the rotation for quarterbacks?’ and he was like, ‘Malik, you’re with the ones.’
“I was like, ‘Oh, OK Coach.’
Yes, Malik, dreams do come true.
The redshirt junior met the media for the first time as the Hurricanes starter, and as usual, he was all smiles.
