Waiver season is underway on the transfer market. On Friday, the NCAA approved a waiver which will let star quarterback Justin Fields play immediately for the Ohio State Buckeyes following his decision to transfer from the Georgia Bulldogs in January.
With the star quarterback’s future determined, the Miami Hurricanes now hope they will be the latest beneficiary of the NCAA’s newfound apparent leniency. Shortly after Fields announced he would transfer to Ohio State, Tate Martell announced he would be transferring from the Buckeyes to Miami.
At baseball media day Tuesday in Coral Gables, Blake James said he expects word on Martell’s waiver “soon,” although the athletic director wouldn’t say how hopeful he is about the quarterback’s appeal for immediate eligibility being granted.
