Who will emerge as top backup to Arizona Wildcats quarterback Khalil Tate?

For the first time in a while, Arizona enters training camp with zero questions about the identity of its starting quarterback. Although he still has plenty of room for growth and improvement, Tate is that guy.

As much as Sumlin and new offensive coordinator/QB coach Noel Mazzone will work with Tate to help him become a more advanced and disciplined pocket passer, his aggressive tendencies remain a big part of his makeup. As adept as Tate is at running away from defenders, he’ll run over them if necessary.

Tate banged up both of his shoulders last season.
