Miami’s Strong Offense and Defense Key to Ward’s Decision
In an interview with The Athletic, D’Eriq Ward expressed his belief that the Miami Hurricanes have what it takes to reach the College Football Playoff (CFP) in the upcoming season. Ward, who had initially declared for the NFL Draft on New Year’s Day, made a four-second video to announce his decision to stay in college. Despite his impressive career statistics of 13,876 passing yards and 119 touchdowns, Ward sees the potential in Miami’s offense and defense.
Ward Takes Over as Miami’s Starting Quarterback
With Tyler Van Dyke transferring to Wisconsin, D’Eriq Ward is set to be the starting quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes. Ward’s experience and leadership will be crucial for the team’s success in the upcoming season. Miami’s coaching staff has shown confidence in Ward, and his decision to stay in college indicates his commitment to the team’s goals.
Miami Adds Transfer Reese Poffenbarger to Bolster Offense
Miami’s offensive lineup received a further boost with the addition of Reese Poffenbarger, a transfer from Albany. Poffenbarger led Albany into the FCS playoffs and topped the division with an impressive 3,603 passing yards and 36 touchdowns. His presence will provide additional depth and options for Miami’s offense, increasing their chances of success.
Reflecting on a Challenging Season
The Miami Hurricanes had a tough season, finishing with a record of 5-7 after starting with four consecutive wins and an upset victory. However, the team’s potential was evident, and with the addition of key players like Ward and Poffenbarger, Miami aims to bounce back and achieve greater success in the upcoming season.
