Miami QB Marve Ready for spring
Marve and two other teammates were injured shortly after midnight on July 16. Wide receiver Jermaine McKenzie was driving a 2007 Dodge Charger owned by Marve’s parents when he fell asleep about 110 miles from Miami’s campus and the car rolled several times. Marve, who led Tampa Plant to a state championship and 15-0 record in 2006 after throwing for 48 touchdowns and 4,380 yards, says the hand and wrist won’t hold him back when the quarterback competition begins. Also vying for the QB spot are highly touted freshman Jacory Harris, Cannon Smith and Taylor Cook. Huskies hire Donatell The Washington Huskies have chosen former NFL assistant Ed Donatell as their defensive coordinator. Donatell was given a two-year contract with an annual compensation package of $334,000. He replaces Kent Baer, who was fired.
