College Football: Top 5 transfer QBs who’ll make biggest impacts in 2019
By Brian Miller
5. Tate Martell, Sophomore
Old Team: Ohio State
New Team: Miami
Look for Tate Martell to rise to the occasion and hit the ground running with his new offense.
Last year, Miami’s one clear weakness was at quarterback. However, the two offseason additions of 2016 National Gatorade Player of the Year Tate Martell and former Alabama offensive coordinator Dan Enos the problem seems to of been properly addressed.
Martell will have no shortage of weapons to throw to as well as a familiar face to target with his high school teammate, Brevin Jordan at tight end. It worth noting that Tate and Brevin are undefeated while playing on the same team and Martell’s record as a starter is 45-0, although he’s yet to get his first college start.
That said, Tate’s reputation as a dual-threat is well deserved and it’s likely we’ll see Miami win most games by controlling the tempo and time of possession.
The Miami defense will keep offenses off the field and while their dynamic rushing attack will give them a chance to control the clock. This will most likely be The U’s key to victory most weeks.
