For over a decade the Miami Hurricanes earned the moniker “Quarterback U.” Deserved too, as the program won four national titles in a nine-year span, each with a different legend under center.
Unfortunately that storied history is a mile in the rear view and Miami’s rich tradition has suffered since.
Stephen Morris has one final game remaining as a Hurricane. Once the senior quarterback departs, the Miami program is back at a crossroads, forced to choose between youth and seniority.
Kevin Olsen was part of the Hurricanes’ small 2013 recruiting class and spent the season redshirting and learning the system. Rivals rated Olsen a 4-star prospect and the 12th-ranked pro-style quarterback in the nation.
The New Jersey native chose Coral Gables over several other destinations and was considered a coup by the Hurricanes and third-year head coach Al Golden.
Should Olsen not prove ready for the main stage next spring, Miami would be forced to rely on senior-to-be Ryan Williams, or one of a few incoming freshmen. Williams was a 2-star prospect who signed with Memphis out of high school, transferred to “The U” a season later as Golden looked to build depth at the position.
