Who should be the Hurricanes starting quarterback?

Picking the starting quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes is like picking your first Pokemon. Once selected, you got to roll with it to the end.

“When we get a guy, we’re going to get our guy and we’re going to go play with our guy,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said. “That doesn’t mean that there’s still not a competition at every position, but you know, you got to have a guy, right? Everyone’s like, ‘Hey, get a guy.’ Now we got a guy. Now we’re asking if we have a guy, do we have another guy? So let’s get a guy. Let’s get behind our guy. And let’s go play with our guy.”

This is the first time Diaz is tasked with selecting his starting quarterback to enter the season with and he has three to choose from. There’s N’Kosi Perry, who is entering his sophomore season with experience after throwing for 1,091 yards and 13 touchdowns against 6 interceptions last year. Jarren Williams is the redshirt freshman who almost transferred out of Miami but had a change of heart, and Tate Martell is the sophomore newcomer who transferred from Ohio State and has been compared to Baker Mayfield in size and moxie.

All three quarterbacks were available to the media after Friday’s practice.
