Former four-star quarterback Jarren Williams plans on transferring from Miami, sources tell 247Sports. The expectation is that Williams' name will be in the NCAA Transfer Portal by Friday, Dec. 21.

The No. 5 pro-style quarterback prospect in the class 0f 2018, Williams signed with the Hurricanes after being a longtime Kentucky commit. He played in one game for Miami this season (completing one pass for 17 yards against FCS Savannah State), preserving his redshirt. Miami see-sawed between quarterbacks Malik Rosier and N'Kosi Perry throughout its 7-5 season.

A Central Gwinnett product from Georgia, Williams will be required to sit out the upcoming 2019 season.

"He excited us with what he did on the All-Star Circuit last year, particularly in terms of his accuracy and his competitive nature," said 247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons. "I am surprised he wasn't a starter at Miami, I expected him to win that job as a freshman, so I definitely think he has the ability to be a starter at his next stop."

Williams was an Army All-American and the No. 77 overall prospect in the class of 2018.
