Mark Richt played at the University of Miami from 1978–1982. Under coach Howard Schnellenberger, Richt was backup to future Pro Football Hall of Fame first round quarterback Jim Kelly. In later years at Miami, other first round Miami quarterbacks he played alongside included Heisman trophy recipient Vinny Testaverde and Bernie Kosar. He was mentored by quarterbacks coach Earl Morrall. Despite limited playing time, Richt still amassed nearly 1,500 passing yards. The 1981 Miami Hurricanes team finished 9–2, ranked 8th in the country, while the 1980 team finished 9–3, ranked 18th in the country. Richt received interest from multiple NFL teams and briefly spent time with the Denver Broncos behind John Elway.
