When the Miami Hurricanes face Alabama to open the 2021 season, they will have D’Eriq King as their quarterback.
King announced on Twitter on Saturday morning that he will use the extra year of eligibility that all college athletes have been granted because the 2020 season was played during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the video titled “Decision made,” King types “Let’s run it back!” in a tweet and hits send. King went to Miami as a redshirt senior transfer from Houston but will play as a sixth-year senior in 2021.
In 10 regular-season games with the Hurricanes entering Tuesday’s Cheez-It Bowl in 2020, King completed 63.
