Herm Edwards' Arizona State football team is in the Pac-12 South in 2019, and if the Sun Devils are going to do that or better then they'll likely do it with a true freshman at quarterback.Edwards on Monday named Jayden Daniels the starter, making him the first true freshman to start at quarterback at Yosh Nijman Jersey Arizona State, . His backup will be another true freshman: Joey Yellen."It says a lot about him and his ability right now to do some things we feel real good about," Edwards said of Daniels. "That's how we're going to roll."It's how Daniels has rolled since he was Juwann Winfree Jersey a freshman at Cajon High School in San Bernardino, California, and was named starting varsity QB.Fast forward four years and Daniels has earned Edwards' trust, though the veteran coach was quick topoint out Monday that Daniels has some experienced players around him on offense."It's one of those deals, you start a freshman quarterback and you try and anticipate what's going to happen," Edwards said."He's not the savior. He's a freshman quarterback like all freshmen are. He's going to do a lot of good things, Jace Sternberger Jersey and he's going to make some errors. That's part of it."Although Daniels was who had offers from a mix of strong Power Five programs, the Republic notes that some have questioned whether his 6-foot-3, 175-pound framecan hold up in the college game.Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach RobLikens, however, compares his newly named starter's build to Jared Goff's (Likens coached Goff at Cal). More important, Likens Donald Driver Jersey says, is what Daniels brings to the field."He doesn't put the ball in jeopardy and he sees the field are the two main things," Likens said. "For his age and hasn't had a lot of experience in college except for spring practice, his ability to make quick decisions with the speed that is going on around him and his De'Vondre Campbell Jersey ability to adjust from the high school speed to the college speed was nothing I've ever seen before."Arizona, picked to finish behind Pac-12 favorite Utah and USC, alongside UCLA in the South, opens the season Aug. 29 against Kent State.
