Martell to be eligible in 2019 - Student Union Sports

Former Ohio State and current Miami quarterback Tate Martell will be eligible to play for the Hurricanes this season.

The transferring star was able to receive a hardship waiver from the NCAA in order to avoid sitting out a year. He appears to have gotten the waiver with the help of Ohio State and also possibly because of their coaching change.

Miami athletic director Blake James on Tate Martell receiving his waiver: "We would like to thank the NCAA, as well as Ohio State University, for their assistance and support throughout the waiver process. We look forward to seeing Tate compete for the Hurricanes this season."

While Martell was the highest rated recruit of Miami’s current quarterbacks, it’s not definite that he will start. Both sophomore N’Kosi Perry and former high 4-star Jarren Williams could also potentially play. However, the transfer’s high school highlights show that he is a very talented player:
