When the NCAA approved Miami quarterback Tate Martell’s waiver for immediate eligibility on Tuesday afternoon, the Hurricanes got a major boost as they begin spring practice. One of the bleakest Power 5 quarterback situations from a year ago—Malik Rosier and N’Kosi Perry split time, but neither proved to be effective—now has a former five-star recruit with three years of eligibility remaining in place to start the 2019 season.
In a year or two, though, that might all be a footnote, no matter how good Martell might make Manny Diaz’s first Hurricanes team next fall.
