Vinny Testaverde's son to transfer from Miami

Quarterback Vincent Testaverde has decided to transfer from the Miami Hurricanes, coach Mark Richt announced Thursday.

"Vincent approached me this morning and indicated that he felt like he would have more opportunities for playing time at another program," Richt said in a statement Thursday. "We wish him all the best in his future plans."

Testaverde transferred from Texas Tech to Miami in 2015 to play at the school where his father, Vinny, starred for four years and won the Heisman Trophy in 1986.

The younger Testaverde did not play in a game at Miami, which recently announced Malik Rosier as its starting quarterback for this season.
