According to On3 college football insider Matt Zentiz, freshman quarterback Jaden Rashada is set to be named the starter at Arizona State.
Rashada made plenty of headlines this past offseason with his commitment to the Florida Gators and ultimately landing at Arizona State with first-year head coach Kenny Dillingham. The Sun Devils also brought in former Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne to compete for the starting job.
Although Rashada hasn’t been flawless by any means during the preseason, his arm talent and the capability to make big plays down the field has stuck out and been an advantage for him compared to the other quarterbacks.
Arizona State, which is entering its first season with former Oregon and Florida State offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham as its head coach, opens its season against FCS Southern Utah August 31.
The first big test for Arizona State and Rashada will come on Sept. 9 when the Sun Devils host the Oklahoma State Cowboys. It will also give fans a preview of the new-look Big 12 given that Arizona State joins the conference in 2024.
