Rashada started at QB for the Sun Devils as a true freshman. However, he suffered a knee injury after just two games and was forced to miss the next nine.

Behind Rashada, the QB room consists of senior Trenton Bourguet, former Michigan State’s Sam Leavitt, and the valley’s own true freshman Navi Bruzon.
Head coach Kenny Dillingham is excited about the depth and competition their QB room brings the team.
“I think we’re gonna have a good competition in the Spring,” Dillingham said. “Adding Sam and Navi to the room adds pretty good depth there.”
ASU’s Big-12 debut is scheduled for August 31 against Wyoming. Despite the injury, Rashada should still be available to start for the Sun Devils.
