Tate Martell no longer working as wide receiver, wants to play QB

The career odyssey of former five-star recruit Tate Martell continues, with the Miami Hurricanes transfer working his way back toward the quarterback position.

Martell transferred to Miami from Ohio State prior to the season hoping to claim the team’s quarterback job. When that didn’t happen, Martell shifted to wide receiver. On Monday, Miami coach Manny Diaz announced that experiment is over, with Martell still wanting to play quarterback.

Martell at receiver is done and finished. Longterm, he wants to be QB, Diaz said.

It’s not really clear what Martell’s next move is. He left Ohio State when Justin Fields arrived because he wanted to play quarterback, and he did not take it well when he lost the quarterback battle at Miami. With that in mind, it’s no surprise he’s hoping to return to the position. Starter Jarren Williams hasn’t done anything to lose his job lately, however, leaving Martell back at square one. His future bears watching.
