Mark Richt supports Miami Hurricanes QB Malik Rosier

Perry and Weldon had the chance to sit and observe Rosier this past season. Richt was asked how that might help Perry heading into the 2018 season.

"“N’Kosi has been in the system long enough where knowledge of the system won’t be something that will hold him back. It will be competing and can he win the job? We’ve got Cade Weldon who knows the system too and has got a lot of ability. “We’ve got Jarren Williams coming in who’s going to try to get up to speed. It will be tough for him to truly compete in the spring but by the time the fall rolls around, if that thing hasn’t been decided by then, he’ll get a chance to throw his hat in there too.”"

The final questions that Richt was asked involved the disappointment the fans might have if Perry isn’t the starter and the perception that he has a higher ceiling than Rosier.

"“They probably thought that a year ago and we won 10 in a row so I don’t think they felt bad about Malik being the quarterback at that time. Whoever is in there has got to do his job and play well.”"

With Perry and Weldon coming off redshirt seasons and Williams on campus Miami is in far better shape at quarterback than they were last season. If Rosier struggles this season, Richt might be quicker to insert a backup.
