For 2 years, I (and others) have been clamoring for QB N’Kosi Perry to be the starter for the Miami Hurricanes. As a recruit, the Ocala-native Perry broke career passing, total yardage and touchdown records at Vanguard HS set previously by former All-Pro QB Daunte Culpepper. On top of that, I with the help of fellow SOTU contributor Justin Dottavio favorably compared Perry to former Oregon QB Marcus Mariota.
So yeah, I’ve been high on Perry’s talent for a while.
As a true freshman, Perry struggled to combine his prodigious physical talents with game-ready knowledge and skills, was unable to supplant Malik Rosier, and took a redshirt.
