Former Miami Hurricanes quarterback N'Kosi Perry named starter at Florida Atlantic

Reese Furlow

Special to The Post

N'Kosi Perry wasted no time impressing coaches since he transferred from Miami to Florida Atlantic in April. As a result, he was named the Owls' starting quarterback heading into Week One against No. 11 Florida.

Perry, of Ocala, beat out last year's starter, Nick Tronti, along with fellow transfer Michael Johnson Jr. and holdover Willie Taggart Jr. for the starting job. Perry brings the most experience out of the group, having thrown for 2,484 yards and 24 touchdowns in 24 games (nine starts) with the Hurricanes during his three seasons there.

His last start came in the 2020 Cheez-it Bowl, where he threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-34 loss to Oklahoma State.

Since he landed in Boca Raton, however, Perry has never felt more confident with an offense than with the Owls.

"I feel like I fit in perfectly," Perry said after the first week of camp. "The offense we run I feel like is a mix of everything, and I've been playing football for a long time now and done a mix of everything."

Having missed spring practice and the spring game, Perry said he had to catch up and learn the offense faster than anyone else. But he still managed to stand out the most during the quarterback competition throughout fall camp.

"It's not easy coming in late and try to build chemistry with the team and learn the offense, [but] with me being familiar with the offense here, it's not too hard to pick up on," he said.
