Undersized San Jose State QB Michael Carrillo Proves Doubters Wrong with Dual-Threat Efficiency
Michael Carrillo is a gritty, undersized quarterback who defies expectations through relentless work ethic and intentional preparation. During his two seasons as a starter at San Jose State, he posted impressive numbers: 4,226 passing yards and 51 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions, leading the Spartans to a 12-1 record and 2013 Central League championship. Named an NFP Scholar-Athlete, Carrillo combines intelligence with on-field execution. His undersized frame initially led coaches to doubt his potential, but his performance proved otherwise—making him an intriguing fit for programs valuing grit, football IQ, and proven production over prototype measurements.
