Back in January, QB Tate Martell decided to leave Ohio State and to transfer to Miami after former Georgia quarterback Justin Fields announced his decision to go to compete for the Buckeyes starting QB job.

Before transferring to Miami, Tate decided to take a shot at Fields by tweeting “don’t swing and miss, especially not your second time”.

Unfortunately for Martell, things haven’t gone so well in Miami because he just lost out the starting QB job to redshirt freshman QB Jaren Williams.

Of course, the Internet reminded Martell about what he told Fields on Twitter back in January.
