Willie Taggart enters his second season at Florida Atlantic with a very crowded quarterback room. Taggart's first season in Boca Raton was overshadowed by the pandemic and the Owls ended up 5-4. But after an off-season of adding players on both sides of the ball, he believes FAU has what it takes to win C-USA's East Division. "I really like our roster. I thought we did a good job this off-season filling some needs and getting the players we needed to be efficient on both offense and defense," said Tagga rt while speaking at C-USA's Media Day."I know going into the off-season, one thing I wanted to do as the head coach was to make us a highly competitive football team. That's at every position, especially at the quarterback position, and I thought this off-season we were able to do that with the addition of (transfers) Michael Johnson and N'Kosi Perry." Perry, who transferred from Miami in April, joins an Owls quarterback room that includes holdovers Nick Tronti, Javion Posey and Willie Taggart J r as well as Johnson. Perry has the most experience in the group. While he was with the Hurricanes, he threw for 2,484 yards and 24 touchdowns in three seasons. - Palm Beach Post

The FAU Owls added another former Power Five player to their quarterback room, with former Miami Hurricanes signal-caller N'Kosi Perry announcing Wednesday afternoon that he's transferring to Florida Atlantic. Perry, a former four-star recruit out of Oca la's Vanguard High, was a redshirt junior last year with UM and is expected to have two seasons of eligibility left after the NCAA granted all fall sport athletes an eligibility waiver for the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He redshirted in 20 17 and was sporadically Miami's starting quarterback during the 2018 and 2019 seasons before being D'Eriq King's backup in 2020. The most game action he saw during the past season was in the Cheez-It Bowl on Dec. 29 after King tore his ACL in the game, w ith Perry going 19 of 34 for 228 yards and two touchdowns with UM's comeback attempt falling short in the Hurricanes' 37-34 loss to Oklahoma State. - Sun-Sentinel

At first, after it was revealed by 247Sports that former University of Miami quarterback N'Kosi Perry had withdrawn his name from the NCAA Transfer Portal on Tuesday afternoon, word spread what Perry's return would mean for the Hurricanes. Would it be a huge security blanket for the Canes, whose starter D'Eriq King just began rehabilitating from reconstructive knee surgery and hopes to be ready for Alabama on Sept. 4? Or was it a bad decision, as he could still end up sitting behind King in what would b e Perry's fifth year of college? Turns out it was a false alarm of sort. Yes, Perry, who entered the portal on Jan. 7, did remove himself this week - but no, he is not returning to play football at UM, according to at least two UM sources. - Miami Herald
