JAKE GARCIA

The Miami Hurricanes snapped their three-game road winning streak on Saturday afternoon, falling to No. However, the Tigers stuffed the ‘Canes on three consecutive runs to turn the ball over on downs and end a promising drive. Meanwhile, the Tigers’ defense was stout throughout, as Miami registered a season-low 98 yards compared to 447 for Clemson. The ‘Canes first points came off a 44-yard field goal by kicker Andres Borregales with 5:55 in the third quarter. Tight end Will Mallory was one of three ‘Canes to record a reception in the game, leading Miami with 42 yards on four catches.

It was the first time this season that Hard Rock Stadium had been sold out for a Miami Hurricanes football game. However, all the fans who attended were certainly disappointed to witness a rivalry game that ended in a whopping 45-3 Florida State victory on Saturday night. It is also the first time since 2016 that Florida State has won at Hard Rock Stadium, when they beat the Hurricanes 20-19. The turnover led to another Florida State touchdown drive, this time a throw from Quarterback Jordan Travis to tight end Cameron McDonald. On defense, Miami was torched any time Florida State ran the ball.

Jake Garcia’s two-point scoring run in the fourth overtime – the only play of the day to reach the end zone – gave Miami a 14-12 win over Virginia on Saturday.

Its biggest task is going to be containing senior Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong. The offense is going to be tested as it will play against a solid Virginia defense led by senior Chico Bennett Jr. The defensive end has an ACC-leading six sacks this season and looks to feast on an injured Miami offensive line.

With this new preview of what Canes fans can expect to see come September, here are some key takeaways to consider after the conclusion of Miami’s 2022 spring game. Backup quarterback Jake Garcia didn’t appear as a backupBehind Van Dyke was sophomore Jake Garcia, who has consistently proved to be a strong backup in the current tandem with Van Dyke. Parrish Jr.’s performance in the spring game will most definitely bring competition in a much deeper RB room in 2022. Restrepo led all receivers in both catches and receiving yards, putting up six catches and notching 60 receiving yards in the spring game. With this defensive performance, Addae as well as Steele could most definitely be looking to develop a ballhawk-style coverage for the Miami secondary.

An intense and spirited month of spring football culminated Saturday afternoon with Miami’s annual spring football game, taking place at Drive Pink Stadium. Third-year running back Henry Parrish Jr. crossed the end zone twice, leading all Hurricanes in rushing touchdowns. “They’re clicking.”Parrish finished the game with 42 yards on eight carries to go along with his pair of touchdowns. “I’m excited for him.”Returning starter Tyler Van Dyke led Miami’s first-team offense, throwing for 172 yards and a touchdown. “They made some plays as well.”UM’s offense did not completely dominate, however, as multiple Hurricanes stepped up for the defense.

After an offseason sparked by an alteration in leadership and an abundance of coaching changes, Miami football’s spring practices are finally here. Here are some takeaways and highlights from UM’s first day of spring practice…1. The rising sophomore had 31 tackles, two interceptions and two passes defended last year for the Canes. Quarterback Jacurri Brown was impressiveThe rising 6-foot-4 freshman signal-caller showed off his arm talent in Miami’s first spring football practice, slinging crisp passes around the field during the media-viewing portions on Greentree practice field. On Cristobal:“He tries to better us men [both] on the field and off the field,” Frierson said.

The Miami Hurricanes are moving forward after losing D'Eriq King for the season.

After weeks of uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position, the Miami Hurricanes have a new permanent starting quarterback: Tyler Van Dyke. Head coach Manny Diaz announced Monday morning that D’Eriq King is having season-ending surgery to repair his shoulder injury. The redshirt senior sustained the injury against Michigan State on Sept. 18, and hoped to rehabilitate his shoulder before playing again later this season. “We knew the odds were, with the injury he suffered to his shoulder, that he would probably need surgery to correct it. Between the two games he played in, Van Dyke averaged a 62.5% pass completion rate, passed for 473 yards, and rushed for a net of six yards.

Miami quarterback D’Eriq King needs surgery to repair his right shoulder and will miss the remainder of the season.

Miami (2-2) dominated Central Connecticut State (1-3) en route to a 69-0 win, but the score was only part of the story, as underclassmen dictated Saturday’s offense. “These games matter because they help you with your developmental guys,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said. I’m prepared, so I’m ready.”As Miami averaged 10.6 yards per play for 739 total yards, Van Dyke and Garcia sustained their sharp approach in a balanced Miami passing and rushing attack for a 49-0 halftime lead. In last week’s loss, Miami missed 30 tackles yet exhibited few tackling shortages versus Central Connecticut State defense with a more physical, energetic and disciplined approach. Based off the evidence of what you saw today, it feels like both guys are guys we feel good about,” Diaz said on King.

Miami is planning to play without quarterback D’Eriq King on Saturday when it takes on Central Connecticut State.

Miami quarterback D’Eriq King has a shoulder injury that will need further evaluation this week in the latest blow to the reeling Hurricanes.

Miami fans got a glimpse of their future Saturday morning when the Hurricanes wrapped up the spring football season with the annual spring football game. Van Dyke did not play in the second half of the scrimmage. “I feel like that was my best scrimmage of the spring,” Van Dyke said. “The future of the Miami Hurricane quarterback room is in good hands,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said after the game. Rambo finished with seven receptions for 74 yards and looked really in-synch with both Van Dyke and Garcia.

With Garcia only being cleared to return from a foot injury one day before UM’s initial spring scrimmage, Van Dyke may be slightly ahead of the pack. Mike Harley led UM with 730 receiving yards in 2020, but only pro-bound tight end Brevin Jordan had more than 400 yards in 2020. “Understanding exactly how the coaches want me to play,” Huff said, is a basic facet of spring practice. The Canes conclude spring practice this week before Saturday’s annual spring game. It will be the final time Miami is displayed on a television audience before its Sept. 4 season opener in Atlanta against Alabama.

“If you’ve got a dollar that you’re going to bet on who our starting quarterback is,” said Miami head coach Manny Diaz. For the Hurricanes, the position is just one of many keys back to prominence. 7 pro-style passer in the 2020 high school class. But coronavirus restrictions on high school athletics in California drove the 4-star recruit to the state of Georgia, where he completed his high school career at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga. He finished his high school season with a foot injury before enrolling at UM for the spring semester.

Four-star quarterback Jake Garcia announced his commitment to the University of Miami Wednesday afternoon on an Instagram live. Originally committed to the University of Southern California, Garcia announced his decommitment from the Trojans two weeks ago on social media. Garcia played his first three years of high school in Southern California, but transferred to Valdosta High School in Georgia after California postponed the fall football season. Garcia was then deemed ineligible to play at Valdosta and transferred to Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia. With Garcia’s commitment, Miami now has 21 commitments from the 2021 class.
