D’Eriq King to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, Tyler Van Dyke named starter

After weeks of uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position, the Miami Hurricanes have a new permanent starting quarterback: Tyler Van Dyke.

Head coach Manny Diaz announced Monday morning that D’Eriq King is having season-ending surgery to repair his shoulder injury. The redshirt senior sustained the injury against Michigan State on Sept. 18, and hoped to rehabilitate his shoulder before playing again later this season.

“There was a narrow avenue that he could rehab it and potentially come back and play this season without needing the surgery,” Diaz said. “We knew the odds were, with the injury he suffered to his shoulder, that he would probably need surgery to correct it.
