Quarterback D’Eriq King will be playing at Miami for his senior season.
Despite initially shooting down a report that he was committing to the Hurricanes after leaving Houston, the star dual-threat quarterback announced late Monday afternoon that he was headed to Miami. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Well, I guess that ends that, folks. King is headed to the ACC to play one season for the Hurricanes. This is a huge get for Manny Diaz.
The quarterback situation for Miami this past season was absolutely atrocious. It was horrible on every single level.

Despite Tate Martell having all the hype in the world, he was relegated to the bench before the season even got off to a start.
The Hurricanes struggled at the position all season, and it was tough for fans to watch. King should fix that problem immediately.
He is one of the best quarterbacks in America, and is incredibly athletic. There’s no doubt Miami now has their starting quarterback for 2020.

Can he elevate them to a highly competitive level? I wouldn’t rule it out. Given his arm and feet, the man can make just about any play necessary.
