Malik Rosier graduated in December leaving the Miami Hurricanes with three quarterbacks returning for 2019 after the Pinstripe Bowl loss to Wisconsin. When Manny Diaz took over as Head Coach for the retired Mark Richt on December 30 upgrading the QB room was a priority.
Rising Redshirt Sophomore N’Kosi Perry was the only returning QB for Miami at the time Diaz became Head Coach that had experience against an FBS team. Perry’s classmate Cade Weldon and Rising Redshirt Freshman Jarren Williams’ only collegiate experience came in 2018 against FCS opponent Savannah State.
