New Canes QB Jarren Williams and ‘young pups’ are ‘chomping at the bit’ to be the guy

Nothing like a Miami Hurricanes quarterback competition to get the pulse pumping.

And nothing like a fresh-faced newcomer to make that battle even spicier.

High school senior Jarren Williams, unlike freshman N’Kosi Perry this past season, will arrive in Coral Gables from Lawrenceville, Georgia, in January to enroll at the University of Miami and immediately dig into the playbook and compete in spring ball.

Perry, the heralded former prep star out of Ocala Vanguard, chose to arrive last summer, initially competing in fall camp instead of getting a jump in spring. He is being redshirted this season as he learns the offense and grows physically.
