Cameron Friel brings veteran size, mobility, and a steady backup profile to UNLV
In the 2025 season, Cameron Friel was a reserve QB for UNLV, appearing in 3 games with 2 passing attempts and 29 rushing yards, so the stat line is tiny—but the toolkit is not: at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, he has the frame, experience, and enough athletic juice to function as a sturdy system fit. His breakthrough came in 2021, when he led UNLV with 1,608 passing yards and earned Mountain West freshman honors, which still matters because it shows he can handle real snaps when called on.
