Manny Diaz has established a clear trend heading into his first season as Miami's head coach: He's not wasting time.
After the flashy attempts at shifting the culture and attacking the transfer portal to bolster the roster, the latest occurrence is Diaz announcing Jarren Williams as the Hurricanes' starting quarterback. The redshirt freshman emerged from a competition that included semi-incumbent N'Kosi Perry and Ohio State transfer Tate Martell.
Rather than waiting until the Aug. 24 opener against Florida, Diaz showed his cards now, which allows the Gators to prepare for a specific quarterback instead of wondering about all three.
