Whenever quarterback Tate Martell hurls a football to University of Miami slot receiver Mike Harley, the junior wideout feels something strange smack his face.
“Every time I catch a ball, a piece of turf flies in my face — or I can feel the wind through my helmet,’’ Harley said Wednesday. “...The zip on it. It’s like speed.’’
But Harley, the 5-9, 160-pound, jet-propelled pass-catcher who was previously timed at 4.38 seconds in the 40-yard dash and called the 5-11, 210-pound Martell “a short general — very short, with a deep voice you wouldn’t expect,’’ showed no particular preference for his quarterback of choice.
