Miami coach Manny Diaz on QB situation (and transfers): ‘No one is guaranteed anything’

It’s no secret that the University of Miami quarterback situation in 2018 was one big mess.

Now, every Hurricanes fan is wondering who the starter will be for 2019.

Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz made it clear recently that he intends to search for another quarterback, whether it be a graduating high school player or graduate transfer, to vie for the starting spot with the current quarterbacks. And on Wednesday, he told Joe Rose on WQAM that he will “create as much competition at that spot’’ as possible.

The newest possible quarterback for UM to circulate on recruiting sites such as CaneSport and InsidetheU is John Rhys Plumlee, a 6-1, 185-pound dual-threat QB from Oak Grove High in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
