The buzz surrounding the Miami Hurricanes landing the top quarterback in the transfer portal is 2020 is warranted. Graduate transfer D’Eriq King from Houston is the third favorite in the Heisman Trophy race according to the Action Network. Trevor Lawrence of Clemson and Justin Fields of Ohio State are ahead of King.
Lawrence is the likely top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Fields will likely be headed to the NFL following the 2020 College Football season as well. King is the highest-ranked QB in the Heisman Trophy race for 2020 who did not play for a college football playoff team in 2019.
