Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele News: Named starting QB

Sagapolutele has won California's quarterback competition, per Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com.

California picks its freshman gunslinger to lead its offense over the Ohio State transfer Devin Brown. This is an intriguing pick as Brown was widely considered the favorite with his three years of experience in Columbus, but the Golden Bears are rolling with the freshman and the upside. He'll get his first shot to prove himself in the opener against Oregon State on August 30.
