The Miami Hurricanes’ high-profile quarterback competition just got super spicy.
Tate Martell, the 2016 Gatorade Player of the Year who transferred to Miami from the Ohio State Buckeyes in January, is immediately eligible to play for the Hurricanes after the NCAA on Tuesday -- the first day of spring practice -- approved a waiver request submitted by the quarterback.
Martell, who played sparingly as a redshirt freshman for Ohio State last season, will have three seasons of eligibility remaining for Miami.
The approved waiver is a major boon for the Hurricanes, whose quarterbacks struggled throughout 2018.
