Every now and then there's a quarterback with raw talent and potential silently grooming his game in the East Bay of Berkeley, California.
Surely, you've heard of Fernando Mendoza, Jared Goff, Aaron Rodgers, Kyle Boller and Troy Taylor.
Well, Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele is on the way to becoming the next one up. He's not on anybody's Heisman prediction list, but the he's got Heisman expectations and future NFL draft pick written all over him.
Sagapolutele enters the 2026 season as a sophomore who's already put his name in the record books of California Golden Bears football. He started all 13 games as a true freshman, the first to do so since Goff in 2013.
He started and put together a great campaign. He finished the 2025 season with 316-of-492 passes for 3,454 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. His total completions, attempts and passing yards in a season were second-highest by a Cal freshman quarterback behind Goff, who eventually became the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
