This is a huge gain for new head coach Manny Diaz.
Quarterman joins Zach McCloud and Michael Pinckney, who all announced that they'd be back for their final season.
The 'Canes had the second-ranked defense in the country.
Diaz is replacing Mark Richt, who suddenly announced his retirement Sunday. Diaz will be formally introduced as Miami's 25th head coach Wednesday.
