Jarrid Williams’ transfer impacting Hurricanes’ improvement on offensive line

Jarrid Williams thought he knew what a humid climate felt like from Cedar Hill, Texas and playing five years at Houston. Then, he transferred to Miami.

A sixth-year senior at right tackle, he’s played an integral role in helping keep the heat off quarterback D’Eriq King, his longtime teammate with the Cougars whom he decided to join with the Hurricanes this offseason.

Miami has only given up three sacks through two games — after allowing 51 in 13 games a year ago — and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee says none of the three were the line’s fault.
