N’Kosi Perry has already had the chance to be Miami’s starter.
It didn’t necessarily go as planned the first time around.
Perry, the redshirt freshman quarterback who has been a fan favorite since his arrival in Coral Gables in 2017, started this season as Malik Rosier’s backup after a one-game suspension kept Perry from truly competing for Miami’s starting job during preseason camp.
Once that suspension against LSU was served and Perry began showing off in practice some of the skill and athleticism that made him a highly coveted four-star prospect at Ocala’s Vanguard High, Hurricanes coach Mark Richt determined it was time to give Perry the chance to play.
