How the Hurricanes are treating the starting quarterback position this spring
Jake Garcia, a freshman early-enrollee, was the No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2021. Garcia originally committed to the University of Southern California, but decided to come to Miami in December.D’Eriq King is Miami’s starting quarterback. This is the case even with the dual-threat signal caller rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in UM’s Cheez-It Bowl at the end of 2020. King is set to be one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in 2021 off the injury and will attract eyeballs from fans and pro scouts alike.
“If you’ve got a dollar that you’re going to bet on who our starting quarterback is,” said Miami head coach Manny Diaz. “Where’s number one. The last name that rhymes with Ming.”
