Three of four UM quarterbacks were suspended this season. Richt points to ‘immaturity’

Three of four University of Miami scholarship quarterbacks were suspended at various times this season.

Coach Mark Richt indicated Tuesday it’s mostly a matter of growing up, and that he would not reassess the way he recruits in terms of determining a young man’s character.

“I would not say character. I would say immaturity,’’ Richt said. “I don’t think these guys have bad character. I think there have been some immaturity issues. They gotta grow up. I’ve been saying that for a while.”

The three quarterbacks: redshirt freshman starter N’Kosi Perry, for the opening game, which was not related to the video he posted showing him playing with wads of money; redshirt freshman Cade Weldon, for four games; and most recently true freshman Jarren Williams, who sat out last Saturday at Virginia Tech.
