The University of Miami 2019 quarterback race has dwindled by one player.
The Miami Herald has learned that University of Miami quarterback Cade Weldon, who would have been a redshirt sophomore for the 2019 season, is transferring from the university in a mutual decision by Weldon and UM.
The situation that spurred Weldon’s transfer is unknown. Last year, the Hurricanes announced in October that the third-string quarterback had violated team rules and had been suspended four games: Florida State, Virginia, Boston College and Duke.
Weldon, 20, a 6-3, 220-pound consensus three-star quarterback out of Tampa Jefferson High, was not expected to win the starting job that is now open after former starter Malik Rosier completed his eligibility last season.
