Arizona State’s high-upside QB with real game reps and dual-threat juice
Dillon Sterling-Cole’s Arizona State run was defined by an early-entrance, next-man-up résumé: as a true freshman in 2016, he became the fifth true freshman to start at quarterback in program history and showed he could stress defenses with both his arm and legs. In his 2016 start at Oregon, he threw for 302 yards, a touchdown and three picks while adding a rushing score, which captures the boom-or-bust appeal—big-play tools, but raw decision-making. Why care? He’s the kind of quarterback who can energize an offense when he’s on, especially if a team wants mobility and upside over polish.
