There was a lot of speculation about whether or not Tate Martell would be ruled eligible to play for the Miami Hurricanes in 2019 following his transfer from Ohio State in January.
Martell’s attorney Travis Leach spoke to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald but would not reveal what the basis of his argument was with the NCAA to get the waiver granted. The majority of analysis leading up to Martell being ruled eligible centered on former Ohio State Head Coach Urban Meyer retiring.
The case was thought to be that Martell transferred because of Meyer’s departure coupled with the addition of former Georgia quarterback Justin Fields to the Buckeyes roster severely limited Martell’s chance to be a Ohio State’s starting QB.
