Three freshmen quarterbacks entered school this semester at Arizona State, which is unusual since the presence of one quarterback in a recruiting class often scares off the others.
It’s a good story that would be difficult to tell at many universities, because college football coaches are among the few active dictators in America. At many schools, media access to players and assistant coaches is severely limited, and some don’t allow freshmen to conduct interviews at all.
That’s not Herm Edwards’ style.
ASU’s coach doesn’t muzzle his players and assistants, nor does he keep freshmen in bubble wrap.
